What is Botox?
Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein that can soften and prevent lines and wrinkles caused by excessive scowling or frowning lines, which are often associated with aging. Botox first gained FDA approval in 1989 for the treatment of crossed eyes, vocal cord spasms, and other facial spasms. As more research was conducted, we learned that it could be used to improve hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and alleviate muscle spasms in people with cerebral palsy. In the late 1990s, an ophthalmologist and dermatologist serendipitously realized that their patients receiving Botox treatments were relatively wrinkle-free. In 2002, Botox Cosmetic officially gained FDA approval for the treatment of frown lines.
How Does Botox Work?
When used by a cosmetic dermatologist, Botox is administered with carefully placed injections. Specific muscle groups are relaxed, softening existing wrinkles and preventing the formation of new ones. Botox injections can be used to soften frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. When done properly, a Botox treatment will look completely natural.
