This neurotoxin (botulinum toxin) produced by the anaerobic bacterium botulinum Clostridum botulinum. Botox is a simplified its name. It is a poison used in medicine to treat diseases associated with muscle contracture, tics, strabismus and blepharospasm, hyperhidrosis and migraine headaches.

Their role is primarily on relaxation of tension of the skin. This prevents shrinkage subcutaneous tissue, stimulating collagen and elastin production and inhibition of calcium, which blocks the work of fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen fibers). These creams work much smoother than an injection with botulinum.
At what age to use botox injections?

After the first injection - 3-4 months. After re-operation - half a year or slightly longer. It depends on the individual properties of the skin.
What would be the side effects of treatment?
After injection of botulinum remain on the skin of the same footsteps as after each injection - points of punctures, with very sensitive skin slight swelling.
