Botox has been created in a laboratory and it is a purified protein. It is not derived from animals. A part of it’s production involves a specific type of bacteria, much like penicillin is created from mould.
Botox treatment is one of the safest treatments available in the cosmetic industry today. Any side effects, such as ‘droopy eye’ are always temporary, which is a reason Botox is currently the most popular treatment for looking fresh and youthful, around the world.
