Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. It is derived from botulinum toxin and is FDA-approved for both aesthetic and medical purposes. Botox is commonly used to smooth dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance. It can also be used to reduce excessive armpit sweating, reduce tension headaches and also alleviate teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism).
