Botox is a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. A type botulinum (Botox) application prevents muscle movements.

Botox eliminates superficial wrinkles and alleviates deep wrinkles. It prevents the deepening of all wrinkles. If the wrinkle is too deep, it will lighten. In deep wrinkles, fillers should be used together with botox.
