What is Botox?

Botulinum Toxin is a neurotoxin that has been purified for clinical and cosmetic use without any adverse side effects. Botulinum toxin will temporarily reduce muscle contraction to smooth the area where wrinkles are present. This treatment also works as a preventative against ageing where wrinkles are not yet present.
