Welcome to our Botox Cosmetic Directory. Botox Cosmetic is a trade name for botulinum, a neurotoxin which, when injected underneath the skin in small quantities, removes some wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles that cause them. Since Botox is useful as a wrinkles treatment on the face, it is often called a non-surgical facelift. Botox may also be used to treat excessive sweating by disabling sweat glands.

The Botox injection procedure usually lasts about ten minutes and consists of several injections through small-diameter needles. Patients often notice improvement in unwanted facial features; such as crows feet, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines.

Side effects of Botox include allergic reactions which may cause difficulty swallowing or breathing. More commonly, patients experience temporary pain, swelling, tenderness, redness, or bleeding around the injection site. Botox can interfere with infections if they are present, and the chemical may induce allergic reactions. You should tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, and if you have any diseases that affect your nervous system or muscular system. Botox can interfere with some medicines, so make sure to let your doctor know about any medications you are taking.
