Botox is a treatment method using botulinum toxin. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles by temporarily stopping muscle movements. It is widely used in the treatment of dynamic wrinkles, especially on the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes. Botox prevents muscle contractions by blocking signals from nerve endings and makes the skin look smoother.
The treatment is performed by injecting botulinum toxin into the muscles with thin needles. The procedure usually takes 10-15 minutes and its effects last for 3-6 months. Botox is a minimally invasive method and usually does not require anesthesia. There may be slight redness and swelling after the application, but these side effects quickly pass. Botox offers longer-lasting results when applied regularly.
