What is Botox?
Botox is the brand name for Botulinum Toxin Type A which is the treatment injected into the muscles to help reduce wrinkles. Other brands include Xeomin and Bocouture.

How does it work?
The muscle responsible for making the wrinkles deeper and visible is targeted so it helps your skin looking younger. It can also reduce sweating so used in hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). It takes about 20-30 mins to apply and about 5-10 days for the full effect to kick in. It usually lasts about 4 months on average.
