Botox is a brand name for botulinum toxin, a highly purified protein which is injected in very small doses to reduce or eliminate wrinkles.
Botox, best known as a wrinkle reducer, temporarily blocks the signal from a nerve to a muscle so that the wrinkles formed by muscle contraction relaxes and softens. Botox works best for lines formed because of muscle contraction such as frown lines or "angry 11", horizontal forehead lines and smile lines.
Botox is also used to lift the eyebrows, to correct lines around the lips and neck, and in Singapore, a common use for Botox is to "slim" the face when it is injected into muscles that we use for chewing along the angles of the jaw.
