When Botox injections are done properly, most people who are not cosmetologists, do not realize that the man entered the Botox, but just noticed that he looks more relaxed and joyful.

Botulinum toxin (Botox) - a material that has been known for over a hundred years and is used in medical applications for more than 50 years. Initially, it was used to treat "lazy eye" (amblyopia), blepharospasm (spasm of involuntary contraction of the circular muscles of the eye), and torticollis (cervical dystonia). In 2002, Botox was approved as a means to improve and relax facial wrinkles in the area between the eyes on the forehead, and since that time has been used successfully in more than 11 million patients. In 2004, Botox was approved for the treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and in 2010 - for the treatment of migraine.

A common misconception that Botox paralyzes the muscles of the face. Although this can occur with an overdose of Botox, most doctors tend to use an amount that will allow patients to retain some activity, but not so large that the area of ​​administration of Botox may be overly active. Patients should be aware that Botox is not used in order that they can not express their emotions, but simply that they could not frown and make faces that become a habit and become unintentional.
