What is Botox and how does it work?

Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is an FDA-approved medical aesthetic treatment that addresses dynamic wrinkles by injecting micro-doses into facial muscles. It temporarily blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, preventing excessive muscle contraction. This significantly reduces forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. The procedure takes approximately 10-15 minutes and patients can resume daily activities immediately.
