Botox (OnabotulinumtoxinA) Injections
Botox, or OnabotulinumtoxinA, is a treatment that uses a purified form of botulinum toxin to relax specific muscles. When injected, it blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, helping to reduce wrinkles and lines caused by facial expressions. Besides cosmetic uses, Botox is also effective for medical conditions like chronic migraines, overactive bladder, and muscle spasms. The effects typically appear within a few days, lasting several months, after which the treatment can be repeated. The procedure is minimally invasive, performed in a healthcare provider's office, and generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects when administered properly.
