What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX® is the brand name for a diluted form of botulinum toxin — but don’t let the word “toxin” scare you away. Used by a trained expert, BOTOX® is usually quite safe. Once the substance is injected, it relaxes and paralyzes muscles. When the muscles do not move as much, they cannot cause wrinkles to appear when you make facial expressions.
BOTOX® also has some medical applications. For example, it has been known to be helpful in relieving TMD and chronic headaches.
