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!

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.
