Botulinum toxin (Botox)

Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, primarily used in aesthetic medicine to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. By acting on the subcutaneous muscles, it blocks nerve transmission, thus preventing the muscular contractions responsible for the formation of expression lines. Although it is widely used, Botox must be administered by qualified professionals, as improper use can lead to side-effects ranging from mild to severe.
