Botox has been used successfully in neurology and in ophthalmology since 1979 for a variety of medical problems. It has been used in cosmetic dermatology. When injected properly Botox has very few side effects.

A tiny amount of Botox is injected into the muscle, blocking the nerve impulse from reaching the area, which relaxes the muscle and smoothes away the wrinkle.

Botox only relaxes the muscle beneath the frown line. The rest of the face is not affected. Using the proper dosage ensures that your facial expression is not altered.
