What is Botox?

Botox is a brand of a prescribed drug prepared from botulin. Botulin is an organism found in the natural environment and is largely inactive and non-toxic. Botulinum neurotoxin is a complex substance produced by bacteria.

Botulinum toxin is an organism that has been known about for over 100 years and it has been used for medical purposes for more than 50 of these. Botulin was medically approved in 2002 for improving and relaxing frown lines in the area between and around the eyes and the forehead and has been used successfully for more than over 11 million people since that time.

Many of us now are striving to keep ourselves looking younger, fresher and wrinkle free and therefore muscle relaxing injections are becoming more and more common.

The effect of a muscle relaxant is reversible after a period of time (depending on dosage and injection location), so the treatment needs to be repeated every 4-12 months to maintain the effect.

How do muscle relaxing treatments work?

Botulinum neurotoxin attaches itself exclusively to nerve cells that activate the muscular system or specific glands effectively and accurately, blocking overactive muscles or glands. A muscle relaxant injection blocks the signal transmission at the nerve junctions to the facial muscles, therefore, relaxing them.
