Q |
What is BOTOX? |
|
A |
BoTox is the brand
name of botulinum toxin type A, a purified and diluted substance
produced by the bacteria that causes botulism. BoTox was
approved by the FDA in 1989, and it is most commonly used to reduce
wrinkles in an individual's face. When injected into the skin,
BoTox halts the muscle contractions that cause wrinkles, eliminating
the appearance of facial lines. This procedure usually lasts
from four to six months. |
