What Is Botox?

​

Botox is a drug doctors have been using for years to treat wrinkles and facial creases. Botox is a brand name of a toxin made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are other brands, such as Dysport and Xeomin. Botox is the term you hear most often because it was the first injectable botulinum toxin.

​

The most common areas for Botox treatment are the forehead glabellar area, crow’s feet around the sides of the eyes, and the worry lines which occur horizontally across the forehead.
