what is botox treatment for face

Botox is a drug that is used to treat wrinkles and facial creases by temporarily paralyzing or relaxing the muscles. It is a brand name of a toxin made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botox injections are often used to smooth wrinkles on the face, particularly to relax the facial muscles that cause frown lines and other facial wrinkles. They are also used to treat other conditions such as neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye, and chronic migraine. The effects of Botox injections typically last for 3 to 6 months, after which the treatment needs to be repeated. The most common side effects include bruising and headaches, and it is important to consult a doctor before getting Botox shots, as they may not work for all types of wrinkles
