What is Botox?
Botox is an injectable drug that is injected into the muscles under the skin, which will eliminate wrinkles. Botox is considered a kind of poison that is produced from Clostridium bacteria and by paralyzing the muscles in the target area, it removes wrinkles on the skin. Contraction and movement of facial muscles are the main cause of wrinkles on the skin. If the movement of the muscles is prevented by a foreign substance, the wrinkles on the skin surface will also disappear. Botox injection to the desired area stops the movement of the muscles by disabling the function of the nerves in that area, and as a result, the wrinkles will disappear for a while while the muscles remain paralyzed. The use of botulinum toxin for cosmetic applications was first discovered in 1980 by a Canadian doctor. This doctor accidentally discovered that the patients who were injected with Botox for treatment, their frown lines also disappeared.
