Botox is actually the brand name for an injectable neuromodulator medication that is used in a variety of cosmetic and general medicine procedures and treatments. The active ingredient within Botox is the botulinum-toxin-A, a purified protein complex compound that is diluted and used in an injectable formation to safely and effectively reduce the appearance of unwanted wrinkles and fine lines. As we mentioned, Botox is simply a brand name, and there are many other similar formulations out there including Dysport, Xeomin and more. And while these treatments are also highly effective, Botox is by far the most popular and well known of them all, and has become a staple in popular culture and media.
