Is bull sperm an ingredient in botox?

No, botox is made from the botulinis toxin - botulinus being a bacteria that is sometimes responsible for terrible or deadly food poisoning called botulism. Botulinus toxin kills by preventing muscles from working. When you get Botox injections, the same thing happens. The technician injects Botox into the muscles that cause frown lines, and so forth, and the muscles quit working. (Botox does not directly affect wrinkles - just the muscles that cause them.)

When did botox become popular?

Botox is popular because it is a non-invasive way to remove wrinkles. Botox is a form of botulinum toxin that has been FDA-approved for use in a non-surgical cosmetic facial tightening procedure that temporarily reduces or erases forehead creases, crow's feet, thick bands in the neck, and frown lines. Botox works by blocking nerve impulses to temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause wrinkles. As a result, your skin is smoother and younger looking. Results usually last three to four months, or longer, and may vary with each patient. Further studies have shown that Botox may be effective in relieving migraine pain and excessive sweating.


Why is botox used?

BOTOX is used by patients who feel they have exceptionally prominent or too many wrinkles on their face. Although there are other uses for Botox (such as limiting sweating in the underarms when injected), wrinkle recovery is the main application for Botox. Botox itself is the brand name for a purified protein that is injected in small amounts to muscles of the face. Once injected, the protein relaxes the muscles of the face that create the wrinkles. While completely removing wrinkles is not feasible, Botox is a great method for achieving the temporary appearance of less wrinkles. Most patients visit their Doctor around every 8 months.


Why are botox injected into deep facial wrinkle?

Botox or Botulinum toxin is a substance that causes paralysis of the muscle fibers. When injected deep to the wrinkles, it causes pralysis of the muscles whose excessive contraction is causing the wrinkles.


What can you use on your lips that has the same effect as botox?

BOTOX injections are not used on the lips. If they were, the patients lips would go numb and not work, since BOTOX is a relaxer. This is because BOTOX is used to deliver the appearance of smoother skin by relaxing the facial muscles that create wrinkles. If a patient wanted fuller lips, they would need to inquire with a surgeon who offers Dermal Fillers like Juvederm.


What is meant by saying BOTOX?

Referring to BOTOX patients and/or Doctors are referencing BOTOX Cosmetic Treatments. BOTOX is a protein that is injected into the face (most commonly) to relieve the appearance of certain wrinkles and lines. This is NOT a permanent solution, as the results tend to last around 6 months. The less BOTOX used in a treatment the more natural the results will look. Ideally, the Doctor would inject only into the muscles that controls the larger wrinkles, so not to overdo the process.
