Botox®

Botox is injected deep within the skin or into the muscles and used as a muscle relaxant. The main benefit of a Botox injection is its capacity to minimize facial wrinkles. It is also used to treat disorders, including cervical dystonia, which causes neck spasms, hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating, and lazy eyes. Injections of Botox may also aid in preventing recurring migraines.
