Its active ingredient is botulinum toxin A. There are commercial drug brands containing this active ingredient.

The purpose of using Botox in aesthetic treatment is to reduce muscle contractions and muscle strength. This application is performed to eliminate active wrinkles, that is, skin wrinkle problems that appear with our mimic movements.
The botulinum toxin substance disrupts the communication between the muscle and the nerve cells that bring stimulation for the muscles to work. Thus, the muscles are prevented from being stimulated and working. This block effect is temporary. As the drug in the region decreases, the block effect also disappears.
This application is only performed on excessive mimic lines. Caution should be exercised where muscle movement is important. Botox is not performed to fill pits and does not eliminate existing static lines that are present without making mimics.
