History of Botox

Botox was discovered many years ago. It is made of a protein derivative of the Botulinum Toxin. Extensive research done in the 1950s proved botulinum to reduce muscle spasms when administered in small doses. Throughout the 60s and 70s, scientists found botulinum also was helpful in alleviating issues occuring with crossed eyes. In 1989 the FDA approved Botox as the first botulinum treatment for problems with eye muscles. Later in 2002, the FDA approved Botox for the use of cosmetic procedures- primarily as a treatment to reduce forehead wrinkles. Since 2002, Botox has continued to be researched and studied.

Benefits of Botox

How Does Botox Work?

Botox is an injectable cosmetic treatment. Botulinum protein acts as a neuromodulator. Botox will temporarily relax the muscle when it is injected into underlying muscles, causing it to smooth over and lengthen. For anti-aging treatment applications, Botox allows the overlying skin to effectively smooth and soften- the creases and grooves caused by muscle contractions now temporarily stopped. Results from Botox are dramatic and provide patients with a younger, more rejuvenated complexion. Over 470 clinical studies have proved Botox to be safe and effective.

Although Botox is great as a reactive treatment to slow the signs of aging, research shows Botox is highly beneficial as a preventative treatment for younger adults. Early Botox treatments stops wrinkles from forming in the first place.

There are also many other uses outside of anti-aging for Botox. Botox reduces hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), alleviate migraines, and, in some cases, may even be able to assist in treatment of depression.
