Botox

Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin, is a cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles. It is derived from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected in small amounts, Botox blocks nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected, preventing muscle contractions and smoothing out the skin.
