What is Botox?

Botox

Botox (botox) is a purified form of Botulinum toxin, a protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, used for aesthetic and medical purposes. It is widely preferred in the cosmetic field, especially to remove wrinkles on the face and soften mimic lines. This application reduces the appearance of lines on the skin surface by temporarily restricting muscle movements. Botox, a safe and effective method, provides natural-looking results when applied by experienced specialists. Botox, one of the most popular applications of modern aesthetic medicine, is a minimally invasive procedure.
