BOTOX® Cosmetic is a highly purified protein that has a better safety record than the
common aspirin. Since the FDA approved BOTOX® in 2002, over 11 million women have been treated making it the number one cosmetic product in the US today.

BOTOX® has been used for medical purposes for over 20 years, and was originally used to treat muscle spasms. In fact, BOTOX® Cosmetic was first injected in the face to stop eye twitches. It was then that it was discovered that the relaxation of the forehead muscles that caused eye twitching had an unintended consequence. It smoothed the appearance of the forehead.

Today, BOTOX® Cosmetic is used both as correct and preventative measures. Relaxing the muscles causes the wrinkles you have now to decrease/soften. Relaxing the muscles now also prevents wrinkles from increasing because you won’t be using that muscle as often.
