BOTOX® was originally developed as a muscle relaxant for use in the treatment of medical conditions associated with muscular spasms, but the cosmetic benefits of BOTOX® quickly became apparent. It is now firmly established as a safe and effective method of reducing the signs of ageing. It has been approved for cosmetic use by the FDA. Its sister product VISTABEL® has been approved for use in the U.K and E.U.

In a procedure that takes only a few minutes, Botulinum Toxin Type A is administered through an ultra-fine needle and temporarily relaxes the muscles that are the cause of wrinkles. As the lines soften and often completely disappear, the result is a more relaxed, youthful and healthy appearance.

BOTOX ® has also proved to be of great benefit to migraine sufferers, reducing both the number and severity of attacks and can be used to reduce under-arm perspiration by between 70% and 90%. This treatment typically lasts for about seven or eight months, but can last longer.
