Botox treatment involves injecting a purified form of botulinum toxin to temporarily relax specific muscles, primarily for cosmetic purposes to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. It's also used to treat various medical conditions like excessive sweating, migraines, and muscle spasms. The procedure is relatively quick, with minimal discomfort, and typically requires no downtime

• Mechanism:

Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the injected muscles, preventing them from contracting, which leads to muscle relaxation

• Cosmetic Uses:

Botox is commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead, around the eyes (crow's feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines)

Recovery:

There's usually no downtime, and patients can typically return to their normal activities immediately. Some recommend avoiding rubbing or applying pressure to the treated area for 12 hours and refraining from strenuous activity for 24 hours
