Botox Injections in Calgary | Dr. Don Graham MD FRCSC (drdongraham.com)

Botox, or botulinum toxin, is an injectable material that can be used to smooth out wrinkles.  Facial wrinkles are a normal process of aging, and can be caused by the muscles in the face, as they move for facial expression.

Botox is isolated from a bacterium, and causes temporary paralysis of muscles, lasting about 4-6 months after injection. This muscle relaxation can smooth out these lines and wrinkles.
