BOTOX is a purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It relaxes the muscles which are responsible for lines of ageing e.g. frown lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles which form over time.

It is a non-surgical treatment in which pre-filled injections of the protein are given in the facial muscles which decreases their contraction and thereby reduces the appearance of wrinkles, crow's feet and forehead lines.

Botox is a quick and painless procedure.The area to be treated is cleansed first and then a numbing cream is applied. After you numb for about an hour, the area to be treated is marked and the protein is injected. There is no pain, redness or swelling but a minor bruise may appear in few cases which heals quickly within few days. No special post treatment care is required. The effects are immediate and remain for a period of four to six months.
