Botox is a natural purified protein that is produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria.  It is the active ingredient that blocks the release acetylcholine. This is the substance responsible for producing the electrical impulses that cause muscle contraction. Once it is not produced, the muscle cannot contract and therefore relaxes. It has been used for more than 11 years worldwide to treat over 1 million patients.

Botox has revolutionised facial aesthetics and plastic surgery. With the goals of treatment becoming increasingly refined, the basic goals of wrinkle reduction and elimination have evolved to correcting defects and facial enhancement. This is to create balance and harmony while maintaining and enhancing facial expression. The relaxation enables the skin to heal and the lines are smoothed away.
