BOTOX, also known as Botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein that is used to 
relax the facial muscles. The effects of the treatment work to soften the appeara-
nce of fine to deep facial wrinkles, creating a smoother-looking appearance. The 
active constituent in botox is a protein complex, derived from Clostridium 
botulinum. Intramuscular injection prevents the release of acetylcholine, preventi-
ng muscular contraction of the targeted area.

Key Features:

• Prevents contractions of the facial muscles
• Creates a smoother-looking appearance
• Used to temporarily soften the appearance of facial wrinkles
• BOTOX may also be used in the treatment of severe hyperhidrosis

 

Treatment Areas:

• Moderate to severe vertical lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
• Moderate to severe lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet lines)
• Moderate to severe forehead lines in adult patients.
• Under the arms in the treatment of severe hyperhidrosis

 

*Please note, when treating primary hyperhidrosis of the axillae:

 

Medical history and physical examination, along with specific additional investigations as required, should be performed to exclude potential causes of secondary hyperhidrosis, such as hyperthyroidism and phaeochromocytoma. This will avoid symptomatic treatment of hyperhidrosis without the diagnosis and/or treatment of underlying disease.
