Toxins
Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. It is one of the most poisonous substances known to humans and is capable of causing severe and potentially life-threatening illness.

When used for aesthetic purposes, Botulinum Toxin is typically injected into specific muscles in the face in very small amounts. It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for activating muscle contractions. This results in temporary paralysis of the injected muscles, which leads to a smoothing out of wrinkles.

As with any medical or cosmetic procedure, there are risks associated with the use of Botulinum Toxin. Side effects may include pain at the injection site, bruising, and temporary weakness or drooping of the injected muscles. More serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing or swallowing, are rare but can occur. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider before undergoing treatment with Botulinum Toxin.
