BOTOX: The Magic Toxin


About

Botox injections are the fastest growing cosmetic procedure and considered as the ultimate fountain of eternal youth. Though considered a dangerous neurotoxin, when injected in miniscule amounts, it can treat several medical conditions.

"A thing of beauty is a joy for ever,
Its loveliness increases, it will never
Pass into nothingness"
- Wrote John Keats in his epic poem 'Endymion'.

This is where cosmetic procedures have stepped in to cater to the needy, and Botox is one such youth-enhancing procedure.

"Always remember that true beauty comes from within - from within bottles, jars, compacts, and tubes"- Peter's Almanac
