Description

Botox treatment involves the injection of a purified form of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In controlled, minute doses, Botox is safely used for various cosmetic and medical purposes.   Cosmetic Uses: Reduces wrinkles and fine lines: Botox is primarily known for its ability to temporarily smooth dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by muscle contractions. Common treatment areas include:   Forehead lines   Frown lines (between the eyebrows)   Crow's feet (around the eyes)   Bunny lines (on the nose)   Marionette lines (around the mouth)   Chin dimpling   Neck bands   Eyebrow lift: Strategic injections can elevate the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance.   Jawline slimming: By relaxing the masseter muscles, Botox can create a more defined jawline.   Gummy smile correction: Botox can relax the upper lip muscles to reduce excessive gum display when smiling.
