BTX:
Cosmetic and medical uses

BTX is a protein made from Botulinum toxin that temporarily paralyzes muscle. In small doses, it can reduce skin wrinkles and help treat a range of medical conditions, including eyelid spasms and some types of migraine.

What is BTX?

BTX derives from C. botulinum bacteria, which are present in many natural settings, including soil, lakes, forests, and the intestinal tracts of mammals and fish.
Naturally occurring C. botulinum bacteria and spores are generally harmless. Problems only arise when the spores transform and the cell population increases. At a certain point, the bacteria begin producing Botulinum toxin, the deadly neurotoxin responsible for botulism.

What areas of the body can be treated with BTX Cosmetic?

Cosmetically, the injectable can be used in the following areas:

the area between the eyebrows (glabellar region), to treat moderate to severe frown lines
around the eyes, commonly known as crow's feet lines

What to expect after BTX Cosmetic

Avoid rubbing, massaging, or applying any pressure to the treated area. These actions can cause BTX Cosmetic to spread to other areas of the body. This can negatively affect your results. When being injected between the brows, do not lie down or bend over for three to four hour. Doing so may cause the BTX to slip under the orbital rim. This could possibly cause an eyelid droop.

There is little to no downtime expected after the treatment. You should be able to resume normal activities immediately in most cases.
