Cosmetic Botox

Definition

Cosmetic botox is a medical treatment that involves the injection of botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, into specific facial muscles to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve signals to the targeted muscles, causing them to relax and resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
