Botox Cosmetic, sometimes called "a facelift in a bottle", is a purified protein. When small doses are injected directly into the muscles, impulses from the nerves to the injected muscle causing the wrinkles are blocked - allowing them to relax. This relaxing of the muscle allows the skin to smooth out persistent lines that which developed over time.
Botox Cosmetic treatments usually last about 10-15 minutes and keep the muscles that cause lines relaxed for 3 months. Results are dramatic and apparent within days and unlike surgery it is fast, simple and minimally invasive.
