Neurotoxin
About
Neurotoxin, often referred to as Botox, is a popular cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It involves the use of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected into specific muscles, neurotoxin temporarily paralyzes them, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. Botox is commonly used to target areas such as the forehead, crow's feet, frown lines, chin, bunny lines, lip flip, Masseter Jawline Contouring, Brow Lift, Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis), and Trapezius/Swan Neck.
