BOTOX and Dysport is the brand names for botulinum, which is a protein derived from clostridium botulinum. This product has proven effective at eliminating facial wrinkles in areas including; between the eyebrows, forehead, and crows feet. These products block neuromuscular transmission causing injected muscles to relax. BOTOX has been used to treat muscle disorders since 1980, and later was introduced for cosmetic purposes in 1987. Once the muscle is relaxed, the contracting muscles gradually soften, smoothing out fine lines in the treated area over the next several days.
