Botox Pros and Cons
Botox is a bacterial toxin which, when injected into the muscles of the face in small amounts, relaxes those muscles and improves the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Botox is very effective for the treatment of expression lines such as crow’s feet and frown lines on the forehead.
Botox was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2002 for cosmetic usage. Prior to this it was used for treating conditions such as cervical dystonia (spasms in the neck muscles) and severe underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis).
