Botox

Botox®, a product renowned for its cosmetic applications, contains botulinum toxin type A, a potent neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This purified compound targets the nerves responsible for muscle movement, effectively freezing them and halting the production of signals that trigger muscle contractions. The remarkable outcome is the relaxation of overactive muscles, leading to the disappearance of dynamic wrinkles.

Originally employed in medicine to treat conditions like strabismus and muscle spasms, it was only later that its potential for softening lines was discovered as a fortuitous side effect. Thus, Botulinum toxin in 1992, began its remarkable journey as a sought-after cosmetic treatment, forever changing the landscape of aesthetics and beauty.
