What Is Botox?
Botox
comes from a kind of bacteria. Doctors have found that a
chemical in Botox can help treat some health problems. They
have been using it safely for many years.
How does Botox work?
Wrinkles
may be caused when a muscle tightens. Botox is injected through
the skin into the muscle. The Botox keeps the muscle from
tightening. When the muscle can't tighten, the wrinkle doesn't
show.
You mean
you can't move your muscles?
A doctor
trained in the use of Botox will inject small amounts of Botox
into the muscle. Only the treated muscle can't
move.
