BOTOX, or Botulinum toxin, is an injectable protein derived from Clostridium botulinum bacterium board-certified dermatologists are using for more than just treating wrinkles. BOTOX is an established brand approved for cosmetic use in over 90 countries across the globe. BOTOX has continued to be a trusted name in dermatology and cosmetic aesthetics since receiving its first FDA approval in 1989. In addition to treating fine lines and wrinkles, BOTOX has been trusted to help treat a variety of conditions such as chronic migraines and over active sweat glands.
BOTOX Cosmetic is arguably the most common of its many uses. When injected in tiny amounts into areas of the face such as the outer corners of the eyes, between the brows, the forehead, lips, neck and jawline BOTOX relaxes the muscles there and prevents dynamic wrinkles from deepening. Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles formed by actions such as frowning, smiling or squinting. In addition, BOTOX prevents new fine lines and wrinkles from forming over time.
Since 2002, BOTOX has sold over 100 million vials and received countless peer reviews in science and medical journals alike. Board-certified dermatologists across the world vouch for its effectiveness as well as its safety. More than 16 years of research has been published, making BOTOX one of the safest and most common names in dermatology and aesthetics.
