Botox
Botox is a neurotoxin protein derived from Clostridium botulinum bacteria. It's used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles.
How Does Work ?
Botox blocks nerve signals to the muscles, reducing muscle contractions and relaxing facial expressions. This helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
