Botox® is a protein that is natural and has been purified. It is registered and is available via prescription only. Botox® improves skin appearance by relaxing muscles that can cause wrinkles. It's derived from bacteria (under sterile laboratory conditions) in a similar way that penicillin is derived from mould. The active ingredient is called botulinum toxin.A lot of wrinkles in the face occur when we make facial expressions repeatedly. Botox® is used to relax the facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. With the use of Botox®, facial lines are softened and facial appearance is improved. When muscles in the face are relaxed, they cannot contract so new lines/wrinkles are prevented from forming.Give us a call today for your next appointment!
