What is Botox?
Botox (Botulinum Toxin A) is a neurotoxin derived from the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. After being purified for clinical and cosmetic use, Botox® is injected into specific muscles to block the chemical signal (acetylcholine) from nerves. This temporary muscle relaxation smooths fine lines and wrinkles, creating a more youthful appearance.

Procedure of Anti-Wrinkle Injections
The anti-wrinkle injection process is simple, non-surgical, and effectively reduces fine lines and moderate wrinkles temporarily. Sometimes, dermal fillers are combined with anti-wrinkle injections for better overall results. The aim of this procedure is to relax or weaken the muscles that cause wrinkles.
First, the area to be treated is cleaned, and a numbing cream is applied. The purified protein is then injected under the skin with a fine needle, causing only minimal discomfort. An ice pack is used before and after the procedure to reduce any discomfort.
The amount of injection needed depends on factors like age, severity of wrinkles, facial structure, diet, and what you hope to achieve.
