What is Botox?

Botox is a trade name for Botulinum Toxin. It is a treatment where a cosmetic effect is obtained by injecting minute doses of Botulinum Toxin, a neurotoxin protein produced by a bacterium. It is one of the most poisonous naturally occurring substances in the world. Though it is highly toxic, it is used in minute doses both to treat painful muscle spasms, and a cosmetic treatment. By paralyzing the muscle, it eases out wrinkles.
Basically, Botulinum Toxin blocks the signals that would normally tell your muscles to contract. The logic here is simple -- if your muscle don't move then they don't wrinkle.

Though 100 Units of botox can cost anywhere between Rs 12,000 and Rs 14,000, clients can always split the usage. IN case one needs to remove frown lines from the forehead, 50 units of botox is more than enough. Thus two clients can split up 100 units of botox as well as the cost. The average cost of botox treatment can vary between Rs 4,000 to Rs 20,000, depending on the area of treatment.
