What is Botox?
Botox is a neurotoxin, injected into the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, the purified protein blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles to soften or prevent wrinkles from being visible. By temporarily forcing the key facial muscles to relax, Botox smoothes away lines and wrinkles to achieve a youthful appearance. Younger patients who want to avoid wrinkles from appearing used Botox as a preventative treatment, while older patients use Botox to reverse the clock on visible wrinkles.
