Abstract:
Botulinum toxin (Botox) has firmly established itself as one of the premier nonsurgical therapies. Recently, Botox is also being used as an adjuvant to many aesthetic procedures, both surgical and nonsurgical. This combined therapeutic use for Botox may not only create an added benefit toward facial rejuvenation but may create a synergistic one as well. This article examines such uses for Botox and reviews the current medical literature.
