Abstract

The purpose of this article was to analyze the efficacy of Botulinum Toxin type A in the treatment of wrinkles that is used to delay skin aging. Therefore, the study of the action of Botulinum Toxin and knowledge of the application of "Botox", a popular name, in the treatment of dynamic wrinkles are essential, in order to avoid the occurrence of possible complications in use. The method applied was a literature review, and the research was carried out by the SciELO, PubMed, Science Direct, MedLine and Bireme databases. It was possible to identify the results of scientific studies, the effectiveness of Toxin, as well as reaffirm the satisfaction of patients who use this treatment. However, it is concluded that, further studies are needed to advance this aesthetic procedure to contribute to the expansion of the Biomedical field of action and enable resources for the treatment of patients undergoing Botox.
