BOTOX®, Botulinum A Exotoxin
About BOTOX®
BOTOX® is a highly purified naturally occurring protein complex that has been used for over twenty years, in adults, children and even infants for the treatment of a variety of conditions caused by muscle spasm, including spasm of the vocal cords. The cosmetic use of BOTOX® is a direct outgrowth of these previous uses.
