    So I’ll be ‘that guy’ but isn’t this filler (collagen I think) rather than botox? Botox is the thing used to paralize your face to hide wrinkles or something else equally insane.

      I think you’re right, collagen not Botox.

      Botox is insane. It uses Botulinum Toxin to achieve that anti-wrinkle effect. You’re basically injecting your (usually) face with botulism. It’s insane that the procedure is approved for cosmetic use.
