Botox® (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin (Botox / Botulinum Toxin) is a purified protein that temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger muscle contraction, allowing overactive muscles to relax. In aesthetic practice it is commonly used to soften dynamic expression lines and to refine the contour of certain muscle groups. It is a medical procedure that must be assessed and administered by a qualified physician.

Highlights

• Softens dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet
• May help relax the masseter, refine the lower-face contour, or address certain muscle-related concerns
• A non-surgical, minimally invasive injectable treatment with relatively short downtime
• Results are temporary and gradually metabolize over time; planning should follow your physician's advice
• Injection sites and dosage are determined by a physician based on your individual facial muscle anatomy

Who it suits

Suitable for adults who wish to soften expression lines or refine localized muscle contours and prefer a non-surgical approach. Suitability is determined by a physician; those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain neuromuscular conditions, or are allergic to the ingredients should inform their physician beforehand.
