BOTOX DIDSBURY: What is BOTOX®?

---

BOTOX® is Botulinum Toxin which is a neurotoxin made by the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum, an anaerobic bacteria found in soil. Botulinum Toxin is purified for clinical use and cosmetic use.

BOTOX® Cosmetic blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can’t contract. That makes the wrinkles relax and soften and that gives you a younger appearance.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults.
