A surgical injection desgined to freeze the facial muscles and thereby reduce frown lines and other wrinkles, Botox uses botulinum toxin to achieve its results. It is one of the most naturally poisonous substances in the world, but is used in minute doses to benefit skin conditions.
Using the highly controversial botulinum toxin, Botox can treat migraine headaches and muscle spasms as well as curing common wrinkles. Performed by a doctor, the results are guaranteed and there are thousands of less expensive serums and creams that can only imitate the results of Botox.
While Botox provides great results, the basis is still highly toxic. Used in the wrong amounts or administered in the wrong way, it has been linked to major muscle paralysis, drooping eyes, uneven smile, and 28 deaths between 1989 and 2003. The effects also last only 4 months.
Botox is known for its quick results. Unfortunately these results do not last, and with the related cost, I would not choose this option.
