BOTOX
BOTOX® (botulinum toxin A), a prescription medicine, is a purified protein that is derived from a bacteria named Clostridium botulinum. It is FDA approved.
It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle contractions that cause persistent lines to form.
Botox® has quickly become the most popular non-surgical, aesthetic procedure in the United States today. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery estimates that almost 3 million procedures were performed in 2009.
