What Are BOTOX® and Wrinkle Relaxers?
BOTOX is an injected solution with an active ingredient of a neuromodulator called botulinum toxin. The extremely small amounts used in a BOTOX treatment make this FDA-approved injectable extremely safe and effective. Botulinum toxin is derived from Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium found in various natural environments, including soil, lakes, and forests.
While not the only cosmetic neuromodulator now available, BOTOX is the original and trusted by millions of people worldwide who want to maintain a smoother brow and fewer wrinkles.
In addition to smoothing wrinkles and lines, BOTOX injections are used to treat a range of physical conditions, including:
- Chronic migraines
- Excessive underarm sweating
- Neck or shoulder pain
- Uncontrolled blinking
- Overactive bladder
