Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses a purified form of botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax muscles and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. It’s one of the most popular aesthetic procedures worldwide for achieving a fresher, younger look with no downtime.
How Botox Works
Botox blocks nerve signals to muscles, preventing them from contracting.
This relaxes the targeted muscle, which:
Softens existing wrinkles
Prevents new ones from forming
The effect is temporary and localized to the injected area.
