Hi. I know some facts about Botox because I was a nurse for five years in one hospital where these Botox operations were also being done. Botox is the brand name for Botulinum Toxin Type A, protein complex produced by the bacterium "Clostridium Botulinum," the same bacterium that causes the form of food poisoning known as botulism.
But this protein is purified and now- it can be used for so-called frown lines, crows feet, turkey neck, and other wrinkles and fine lines that tend to accumulate over time.
Like you have said, many people are against it because they have heard about possible bad side effects, but the thing is that don’t know a thing about it. The real truth about all this is that the common side effects are minor, including headaches, which affect about 13 percent of Botox recipients, some mild respiratory infections, eyelid droops, nausea and flu-like symptoms.
