What Is Botox?
Botox is a drug derived from the botulinum toxin, which is found in a certain type of bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. Botox has many important uses in the medical and cosmetic fields.
In the medical field, Botox is used to address numerous issues. People utilize Botox to treat conditions such as excessive sweating, muscular disorders, bowel and bladder disorders, and even migraines.
In the cosmetic field, Botox can smooth away fine wrinkles and delay future wrinkles from forming by temporarily paralyzing the facial muscles that are responsible for certain facial movements. Botox injections are the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic treatments in the beauty industry. Over six million Botox procedures are administered on an annual basis.
