Introduction
BOTOX is a cosmetic treatment that can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face. It is made from a safe, small amount of the protein found in the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When injected into the muscles, it reduces their ability to contract, which in turn reduces movement and promotes a smoothing effect on lines and wrinkles.
The mechanism of action involves reducing muscle activity in a targeted area, emphasizing the importance of having BOTOX administered by a board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Schlesinger.
There are also a number of medical reasons BOTOX can be sought out, which might be right for you. Here are some of the health issues that BOTOX helps with:
