Botox is an injectable material consisting of botulinum toxin, which is used in small doses. It appeared in the 18th century, while it was first produced in the laboratory in 1944 by E.Schantz. In 1968, A. Scott used it for medical reasons, while its first clinical application took place during the 70s in the field of ophthalmology and in particular for the treatment of blepharospasm and strabismus. The original BTX-A was produced in 1989 accompanied by its first approval by the FDA in use for the treatment of cervical dystonia.
In April 2002, the material was accepted and approved for the application and treatment of wrinkles in the forehead and the frown lines between the eyebrows. At the same time it was approved in France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Australia, Japan and others.

Right Candidates
Men or women looking to combat the first signs of ageing temporarily, as well those who are not ready or not wish to undergo a more long-term effective procedure (i.e. Face Lift). Essentially, successful botox treatments rely on the right choice of muscles used, and are performed not only for the combat of facial wrinkles but also for the creation of a more natural and fresher face with more attractive features. |
