Botox is a brand name for a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is widely used in both medical and cosmetic procedures. Here at KL Aesthetics & Wellness, we inject Botox for cosmetic use only.
Botox is most commonly known for its ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, such as those in the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines).
Botox is injected directly into the muscles or skin using a fine needle. The effects typically begin to show within a few days and can last for 3 to 4 months, depending on the area treated and individual response.
Botox is generally considered safe when administered by a qualified professional. However, potential side effects can include localized pain, swelling, bruising, headache, and, in rare cases, more severe reactions.
