Botox is the brand name for Botulinum toxin type A which is the purified form of the toxin. The treatment is an increasingly popular non-surgical treatment for facial wrinkles and is the hottest rejuvenation trend of the new millennium! If the botulinum toxin is taken in large amounts by mouth, a form of food poisoning known as botulism is the end result. Botox is used cosmetically for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles by the injection of small doses into specific muscles to temporarily relax the facial muscles around wrinkles, making them less noticeable. Botox works by blocking the chemical signals responsible for muscle contraction. The relaxed muscles lead to flattening of the skin and hence a smoother less wrinkled appearance.

Five years into the marriage, Helen was advised by her husband to resign her paid employment to keep home. As an engineer with a prominent company, he felt his pay was good enough to take care of his family and a good rest would do his wife some good. Two years after becoming a full time house wife, her husband suddenly took ill and passed on. Then like a new act in a drama scene, her nightmare began. First she was given the matching order to pack out of the house and submit the key to a family member. She was denied access to her clothes as her in-laws claimed they were things bought by the man so she could not take them. They also went further to ensure that all the man’s assets were denied her. As we write, she is a shadow of herself, confused and emotionally wounded.
