BOTOX® is most commonly used between the eyebrows on the frown lines, horizontal forehead lines, and on crow's feet. After BOTOX® is injected into the muscle that creates the wrinkle with a tiny needle it blocks the nerve impulse from reaching the desired area. The muscle weakens causing skin on the muscle to relax and wrinkles vanish.
BOTOX® can also be used to treat Sweaty Palm Syndrome.
BOTOX® is derived from a purified protein toxin produced by the clostridium botulinum bacteria and has no serious side effects due to the small amount used. The effects of BOTOX® lasts around three to five months, and after several treatments the effects begin to last longer. BOTOX® has been safely used for over ten years and the only side effects are temporary and local to the area of the injection.
