Botox (botulinum toxin therapy) is a type of cosmetic procedure during which injections of a drug with a natural base are injected under the skin, the purpose of which is to paralyze neural connections, which leads to muscle relaxation and smooth out wrinkles.
Botulinum toxin (from the name of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum , from which it is produced, hence the name of the Botox procedure) is the active ingredient of drugs that block neuromuscular transmission.
After injections, the activity of facial muscles decreases and wrinkles smooth out. Blood circulation is not impaired, tissues do not atrophy. The duration of the result depends on individual characteristics and is up to 4 months. After this, the procedure can be repeated.
