BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A) Purified Neurotoxin Complex is a vacuum-dried form of purified botulinum toxin type A.
Intramuscular injections of BOTOX® typically result in a dose-dependent reduction of hyperactive muscle contraction under the skin, which causes wrinkles. The wrinkle free area lasts for approximately 3 - 6 months and is ultimately reversible. With BOTOX® , response is sustained, repeatable, and predictable. BOTOX® has a 10-year history of proven response. BOTOX® Purified Neurotoxin Complex is believed to produce its therapeutic effect by acting selectively on peripheral cholinergic nerve endings to inhibit the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction.
