Botox: A Beginner’s Guide • What is Botox? – • Procedure – • Botox is derived from Clostridium botulinum, which is a bacterium. However, it is harmless - merely a purified protein which can release a neurotoxin that, in small doses, can do wonders for your skin. Originally used in 1980 to treat eye disorders, it paralyses the underlying muscles in your face that would usually be moving around the most and therefore causing the skin to wrinkle and create crow s feet and frown lines. This procedure means that the skin remains still, keeping your skin smoother. The procedure of being administered with Botox is simple: TheBotulinum toxin powder is diluted in saline and injected into multiple areas of the face (with only mild discomfort) into the neuromuscular tissue under the skin. This only takes a few minutes, and after that your skin will have the wrinkle-removing effects of Botox for four to six months. Costs – Currency costs are a factor of course, but with up to 6 months of wrinkle-less costing as low as £140 in the UK, the price can be worth it. Plus, treatments are so popular that prices can vary and drop regularly, so you can bag a lucky deal if you search further.
