What is Botox?

Botox - a drug derived from a neurotoxin. It is

used to treat your facial lines and wrinkles.

Botox injections are good for those people, like

you, who want to look more youthful. But, you

have to be knowledgeable first about these

injections before you decide to get them or not.

Botox has different commercial names, such as Bocouture, Dysport and

Myobloc, their purpose are still the same. They will still tighten up the

muscles on your face and get rid of those facial lines and wrinkles. They

can be highly toxic but that depends on the dosage taken. A lot of people

who have received Botox injections have never experienced any serious

adverse side-effects, although there are exceptions when it comes to this.

How is it Used?

Botox is injected into the neuromuscular tissue

after the powder is diluted with saline. It takes

around 24-72 hours to take effect but sometimes

the effects won’t show up until 4 or 5 days.
