| Botox Injection - before and after photos
Botox is a popular treatment for aging skin. Americans spend over 300 million dollars annually injecting themselves with botulinum toxin, a poisonous substance that, when used in minute doses, temporarily smoothes wrinkles. It is also used to treat extreme muscle spasms. When Botox -- botulinum toxin A -- is injected into the muscles surrounding the eyes, for instance, those muscles can not "scrunch up" for a period of time. They are paralyzed. So the wrinkles in that area, often referred to as "crow's-feet," temporarily go away. Side effects may include dysphasia, upper respiratory-tract infection, headache, neck pain, ptosis, bruising/soreness and nausea.
