What is Botox? (Botulinum Toxin)
Botox derives from the Botulinum Toxin. A powerful neuro-toxin from the Botulinum Bacterium.
The raw product is refined to produce what we know as Botox (which is not toxic at low levels). It is, however, strong enough to block nerve endings thus enabling muscles to relax. The effects are reverse after 3 months.
During this time, muscle relaxation causes wrinkles to soften and become less obvious, whic has clear benefits for aesthetic purposes.
