THE BOTOX® COSMETIC STORY
In the late 1890s, scientists first identified C. botulinum as a cause of food poisoning (botulism). Scientists continued to study its effects, exploring its therapeutic uses in the late 1960s. By 1989, BOTOX® was approved for medical use. The same product with dosing specific for temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines was approved as BOTOX® Cosmetic in 2002. And in 2013, that same product was approved for temporary improvement of moderate to severe lateral canthal lines, commonly called crow’s feet.
