Botox (Botulinum) is a toxic drug extracted from a bacterium by the name of clostridium botulinum. It is meant for nerve and muscle disorders, but is popular in cosmetic treatment for temporary reduction of facial lines and wrinkles. Just a minimal dose of botox via injection helps to make the muscles paralysed on that area of the face thus giving it a younger appearance. The effect of this lasts only for a period of four to five months. So treatment with botox has to be continuous if one is eager to not show those wrinkles and creases on the face and neck.
