(Botox)
Botulinum Toxin, commonly known as Botox, is the world’s most popular non-surgical cosmetic medical treatment. It’s an FDA-approved injectable that improves patients’ wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Facial lines are the product of muscle contractions like frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. Botox reduces the strength of muscle contractions in problem areas, eliminating the root cause behind the formation of wrinkles and lines. The result? Softer facial lines and younger-looking skin.
