Botox: We all heard it but what really is it?

Botox (botulinum toxin) is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. By reducing repetitive muscle movement, botox smooths existing wrinkles and helps prevent new ones from forming. Treatment takes only minutes and requires little to no downtime, making it a convenient option.
