Botulinum toxin is a facial cosmetic treatment that is injected into the muscles to relax and reduce the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles. A Botox administer must have a basic understanding of complex facial anatomy to be able to deliver these cosmetic injections. There are several nerves, muscles and blood vessels present beneath the skin, so care should be taken while injecting. Knowledge of facial anatomy will have treat patients more accurately and produce excellent results.
