Botox is a cosmetic procedure that uses botulinum toxin, made up of a cosmetically-approved form of Clostridium botulinum. Botox works by blocking the neuromuscular transmission through decreased acetylcholine release, which temporarily paralyzes the injected muscle and weakens it.
When Botox is used for cosmetic purposes only small doses are injected to avoid any adverse effects. The procedure itself is simple and short with no pain at all - this makes it one '3S' (simple safe satisfying) surgical treatment for rejuvenation!
Botox reduces dynamic wrinkles for three to six months or more, depending on patients’ unique body chemistry.

Dermal fillers can replace lost volume to help smooth wrinkles, plump the lips, and restore a more youthful appearance.
