What is a Botox Injection
Botox injections are primarily noted for their ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. But they have many other applications such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
In recent years, Botox, or botulinum toxin type A, has become extremely popular. It is a well-known, tried, and trusted treatment that allows people who inject it to feel safe and calm. Although Botox is mainly known for its anti-aging properties and for reducing and preventing wrinkles and expression lines, it has more benefits, such as the treatment of a series of conditions: hyperhidrosis, bruxism, vulvodynia, etc.
What is Botox?
Botulinum toxin, better known as botox (the brand name of the first drug of this type to be marketed), is actually the toxin that produces botulism. However, its ability to produce muscle paralysis is used for medical purposes in the treatment of certain neurological diseases and in aesthetic medicine for the expression of wrinkles, which is what it is best known for. Among its many medical applications include:
• The strabismus
• The dystonia.
