Botox (Botulinum Toxin)

Botox, the everyday name for botulinum toxin, is one of the most popular non-surgical ways to soften the lines that appear with movement and expression. A few tiny injections relax the small muscles that create forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows and crow's feet around the eyes, so the skin above them looks smoother and more rested. The same treatment also has well-established medical uses, easing excessive sweating, relaxing an overactive jaw muscle and helping to prevent chronic migraine. It is quick, requires no surgery and no real recovery, and the effect is temporary, which is why many people travel abroad to combine an expert treatment with a short, private trip.
