Botox

Botox is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, with more than 6 million Botox treatments administered each year.

Botox is a neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum, an organism found in the natural environment where it is largely inactive and non-toxic.

Botulinum toxin is used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by paralyzing the underlying muscles.

People also use Botox to treat excessive sweating, migraines, muscular disorders, and some bladder and bowel disorders.
