What is Botox?
Botulinum toxin is a medication that temporarily relaxes the muscle where it is injected. It blocks the nerve signal to the muscle, so the skin stops folding and the wrinkle softens.
Its medical use began in the 1970s, and in 2002 it was approved for frown lines. Today it is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments in the world.
