What it is
| What it is | Botox is a procedure that injects small amounts of botulinum toxin to relax the movement of excessively contracting facial muscles. It is suitable for improving dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle use, such as those on the forehead, glabella, and around the eyes. It can also be applied to areas with prominent muscle development, such as the masseter muscles (for square jaw) and trapezius muscles. The procedure time is short, and it involves no incisions, making it a relatively convenient option even for busy schedules. |
