What Is Botox?
Botox is a neurotoxin derived from bacteria that temporarily paralyzes muscles. When injected into specific facial muscles, it can smooth wrinkles by preventing them from contracting. It’s commonly used to reduce the appearance of frown lines (glabellar lines), forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet.
How Botox Works
Botox works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. When injected into a muscle, Botox temporarily prevents it from contracting. This results in the smoothing out of wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements.
Types of Botox Treatments
Boto is an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle contractions. There are several types of Botox treatments tailored to address different facial concerns.
- Forehead Lines:
Botox injections into the forehead muscles can soften horizontal lines that form across the brow. - Crow’s Feet:
- Glabellar Lines:
