Botox
Botox injections, Botulinum Toxin, block certain chemical signals from nerves. Mostly signals that cause muscles to contract. The most common use of these injections is to temporarily relax the facial muscles that cause wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes. Though this toxin can be used in various other regions of the face.

Is there recovery time?
