Botulinum toxin (Botox)

Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a purified substance which is excreted by the bacteria clostridium botulinum.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) has been used for medical purposes for over 20 years.
For about 5 years, it has also been used for esthetic purposes.

Even after many years in use, no after effects or allergies have been observed until today.

The unimportant overactive facial muscle is blocked with an injection. The nervous signal to contract the muscle is temporarily inhibited and wrinkles cannot appear.

The effects are limited and last for about 3 to 6 months (depending on each person).
