Botox is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. By reducing muscle activity, Botox softens existing dynamic wrinkles and helps prevent new lines from forming, resulting in a smoother and more refreshed appearance.

The treatment is minimally invasive, requires no downtime, and typically takes only 10–20 minutes. Results usually begin to appear within 3–7 days, with full effects visible after about two weeks and lasting approximately 3–6 months.
