Botulinum toxin or Botox® is a product that has made it possible to improve the appearance of the face by temporarily fading expression lines. Although there are now other brands on the market, Botox® remains the most popular toxin and the benchmark for testing new options. Botox® is one of a group of toxins produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It can be found in its natural, complete form in decomposed food in places without oxygen, like rotten tinned food, and can provoke a very serious illness. The Botulinum toxin used for therapeutic purposes is purified according to very high standards, reducing any health risks so that it is very unlikely that patients who receive Botox ® in the correct doses contract a serious illness. That is why Botox® is so commonly used around the world over. Botulinum toxin functions by blocking the “communication” between the nerve endings and the small area of muscular fibers or sweat glands in the zone where it is injected, which stops them from functioning in this area for approximately 4 to 6 months. As a result, wrinkles fade or sweating decreases accordingly.
However, it is important to mention that the use of Botox® cosmetically only works on expression lines like wrinkles between the eyebrows and on the forehead or “crows feet”, as well as some bands that form around the neck. It can also be used to control excessive sweating in the armpits and hands.
Cosmetic use of Botox® does not improve wrinkles caused by sagging, like the furrows on the sides of the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds or laughter lines), neither does it lift sagging tissues like those on the cheeks because it is not a filler and therefore does not strengthen the tissue or increase its tautness.
Is it expensive? A little math will show us that Botox® use is comparable to the purchases throughout the year of cosmetic creams, make-up, treatments and hair appointments, and the results it offers are generally very good.
It is true that it produces strange expressions or a completely frozen face? No, like everything else, proper use in the correct quantities and frequency will produce good results; it is the abuse of the product that can lead to unnatural results.

You're right, if this substance is used properly there's nothing risky...In order of this to happen it's recommended to search for a good clinic with specialized doctors for a botox treatment. I did all my botox treatments at the best botox Toronto
