Botox is a brand name of injectable neuromodulator/neurotoxin originating from botulinum toxin. This bacterium, known as Clostridium botulinum, creates a toxin that limits muscle contractions. By harnessing these powers in small doses, aesthetics providers can address a range of minor fine lines and deeper-set wrinkles.
Researchers have also found Botox to effectively treat a range of medical concerns such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), neck spasms, lazy eye, and overactive bladder.
