Botox, the trade name for botulinum toxin, is the world’s most sought-after medical aesthetic treatment. This versatile neurotoxin has been safely used for over 50 years to address a wide range of facial concerns, both functional and aesthetic.

This makes it an ideal treatment for frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles.
