Botox® Overview
Botox® is an injectable product that addresses a variety of facial cosmetic concerns. Since its FDA approval in 2002, Botox® has been used by millions of people, both in the United States and beyond. Today, it’s the top cosmetic treatment to date.
Each Botox® treatment works by inhibiting the muscles at the injection sites from creating dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a non-surgical and versatile way to treat a variety of cosmetic concerns.
About Botulinum Toxin – The Main Ingredient in Botox®
Botulinum toxin, also known by its commercially marketed name onabotulinumtoxinA, is the active ingredient in Botox® cosmetic treatments. It’s a neurotoxic protein produced by a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum.
Botulinum toxin works by blocking the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from communicating with nerve endings. When used in cosmetic settings, it creates a rested and more youthful look at the treatment site.
Because of how it works and what it does, Botox® should only be administered by trained estheticians such as the professional team at The Refinery Medspa & Wellness.
What Does Botox® Treat?
Many people are unhappy with how the aging process or over-exposure to the sun affected their facial appearance. There are many cosmetic surgical options to address those problems, but Botox® offers a viable non-surgical alternative.
Botox® can smooth the upper areas of the face and diminish the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet lines, and forehead lines while helping to maintain a rested, natural, and youthful appearance.

Lastly, there is no downtime associated with Botox®, and the results it offers last up to four months – longer if you have regular maintenance treatments.
