Kim Kardashian: No More Botox for Kim

Kim Kardashian is clearing the air and putting an end to her use of Botox. Kardashian ended up with a bruised face as a result of a televised Botox procedure at the start of the new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

After she received a flood of emails and comments Kim decided to address the issue.

"I've been getting lots of emails and comments regarding the Botox episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, so I wanted to address this today to clear some things up."

On the show you saw I had some bruising around my eyes after the procedure, which is totally natural, but because I hadnt looked into the side effects, I freaked out, she writes on her website. In no way was Dr. Kassabian a bad doctor it wasnt a botched job at all!!

The young reality star won't be going back anytime soon.

I am not against botox, and I would never judge anyone else for getting any kind of surgical or non surgical procedure, but I think when youre young there are other ways you can look after your skin.Botox just wasnt necessary for me at this age.

Botulinum toxin is made from a type of bacteria. It is toxic to the nerves. Another name for it is bacterial neurotoxin. An injection puts this toxin into muscle. There, it blocks the chemical signal from the nerves to muscles. This will decrease the muscle contraction (tightening). This is most commonly used as a treatment to smooth wrinkles on the face and neck. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of frown lines between the brows.
