Botox cosmetic is an injectable purified protein. Very low doses are given in a quick and simple nonsurgical procedure. A few tiny injections are given directly into the overactive muscles to relax them and remove the look of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Because the needle is ultra fine, the treatment is almost completely painless. Botox is typically a “no down-time” procedure with no signs of treatment visible to others immediately after the treatment. Within 1-10 days wrinkles will disappear leaving a more pleasant, less tired appearance.

Initially used to treat spastic muscles, Botox was first noticed to have cosmetically pleasing wrinkle reduction side effects by Dr. Jean Carruthers, a Canadian ophthalmologist. She and her husband, a dermatologist, began using Botox for wrinkle reduction with popular results. The practice became widespread in the US and Canada when the same formulation received approval from Health Canada in 2001 and the FDA in 2002.
A word of advice, don’t ever agree to a “Botox” treatment at someone’s house or in another country. The real Botox - the safe, Health Canada approved medication - is only available in a qualified doctor’s office like md cosmetic.
