Botox is a muscle relaxant solution produced from Botulinum toxin A, a refined protein manufactured from Botulism bacteria.
Since it soon became apparent that Botox could block the nerve impulses that are sent to the muscles that control the facial expressions, it soon became a very popular product for treating signs of age such as tension wrinkles in the face.
Today injection treatments with Botox are the most common doctor administered treatments in the world.
