Botox cosmetic is an injectable agent used to temporarily diminish or eliminate lines and wrinkles on the face by relaxing underlying facial muscles. Botox is derived from botulinum toxin type A, a bacterium-produced neuromuscular toxin that can be deadly in a pure state. Botox cosmetic contains a highly diluted form of the toxin and has been proven safe. For this reasons, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved Botox botulinum toxin treatment for alleviating eye-muscle disorders and smoothing frown lines. This exceptional treatment is often used in conjunction with facial plastic surgery procedures such as a face lift or eyelid lift to maximize its cosmetic benefit.
