Botox (Botulinum Toxin)

Botox, medically known as Botulinum Toxin, is a purified protein derived from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, preventing them from contracting. This relaxation reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by facial movements. Beyond cosmetic use, Botox is also employed to treat conditions like migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms. The effects typically last three to six months, and when administered by a qualified professional, it is considered safe and effective.
