<div>
<div>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Botox is a purified protein that’s injected into muscles to relax them by blocking certain chemical signals from nerves that cause muscle contractions. It’s made from Clostridium botulinum toxin and has been used for medical and cosmetic purposes since the 1980s. Botox injections are often used to temporarily relax the facial muscles that cause facial wrinkles, but it can also be helpful in treating other areas of the body, such as underarms, neck and hands.</p>
<p>Botox was originally discovered by scientists who were studying bacteria called Clostridium botulinum in the 1970s. This type of bacteria occurs naturally in soil and water, which means that if you eat food that contains it without properly cooking it first (like improperly prepared fish or eggs), you could become ill or even die! But when used properly by a medical practitioner such as a licensed doctor, dentist or nurse practitioner, this toxin can help eliminate wrinkles on your face while keeping them safe from harm too!</p>

<div class="full-width pb-30"><strong>What Is Botulinum Toxin?</strong>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Botox is a brand name for onobotulinumtoxin type A (botulinum toxin), a neurotoxic protein that is injected into specific muscles with a thin needle to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Botulinum Toxin injections prevent the release of certain chemical signals and messengers coming from nerves which provide a temporary reduction in muscle contraction and movement.  </p>
<p>Other brands of botulinum toxin available in the UK include <a title="Bocouture" href="/treatment/bocouture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bocouture</a>, <a title="Azzalure" href="/treatment/azzalure/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Azzalure</a>, Letybo and Nuceiva. New brands are emerging, but these are currently the most well-established and widely used. They are all approved for cosmetic use in adults.</p>

<div class="full-width pb-30"><strong>What Does a Botox Treatment Feel Like?</strong>
<div>
<div>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">You will feel nothing at all when Botox is being injected into your skin. It is a very quick process, and patients typically feel no pain during their treatment. The entire procedure takes only a few minutes to complete and involves an injection of a small amount of Botox into the area that needs it. The medication works to temporarily relax muscles that cause wrinkles, which gives you smoother skin for up to four months before any further treatments are needed.</p>

<div class="full-width pb-30"><strong>What Are the Risks of Having Botox?</strong>
<div>
<div>
<ul data-pm-slice="3 3 []">
<li>
<p><strong>Allergic reactions:</strong> A small percentage of people develop an allergic reaction to Botox. However, an allergic reaction to Botox is very rare. Symptoms can include redness, burning, itching and swelling at the injection site. If you experience a severe reaction after getting Botox and have trouble breathing, double vision, or trouble swallowing, contact your medical practitioner immediately and seek medical attention.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Droopy eyelids:</strong> It's not uncommon for patients to develop droopy eyelids, also called ptosis, after getting Botox injections in their forehead area (glabellar). Apart from waiting, your medical practitioner can give you eyedrops to help with droopy eyelids or administer more Botox to counteract relaxed muscles. Droopy eyelids may negatively affect your confidence but will typically only last for four to six weeks.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Dry mouth:</strong> Masseter treatment with Botox could potentially cause temporary dry mouth. It's unlikely to cause such a side effect if you had a treatment in the upper face. Side effects like this more commonly occur among men than women and usually last only a few days following treatment, according to the <a title="American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)" href="https://www.plasticsurgery.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)</a>. If dry mouth continues beyond that point or becomes unbearable while it lasts then you may need additional medication like lip balm or throat lozenges until it goes away completely - but don't worry - this isn't permanent!</p>
