BOTOX to Reverse Wrinkles
We have 42 muscles on our face that help us communicate with expressions. Repetitive muscle movement causes facial ageing, lines & wrinkles. Some might experience forehead lines; others might experience crow’s feet or frown lines. The type of lines that an individual gets on their face depends on their repeated use of particular muscle groups. To reduce wrinkles on the face & neck, crow’s feet, brow furrow, and forehead lines, Botulinum Toxin (Botox), is used to rejuvenate the ageing face.
What is Botulinum toxin?
Botulinum toxin commonly known as Botox is made from a bacteria called botulinum. Botox is used to temporarily relax facial muscles, which then reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It is injected directly into the muscle that needs to be relaxed.
The Process:
Botulinum toxin is injected in the muscle that needs to be relaxed. Even though the process involves an injection, the treatment is very comfortable. The injection blocks the nerve activities in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle activity.
When botox is injected into a muscle, it blocks the nerve signals that make the muscles to contract. Once the signal is blocked, it temporarily weakens or paralyzes the facial muscles to smoothen & eliminate wrinkles for a few months. Botox treats already formed facial lines and helps prevent new lines from forming as well.
The treatment takes up to 72 hours to take effect after injection and lasts for about 6-8 months. Though the effects are only temporary the injections can be done very quickly and need no recovery time. Botox is one of the best options if one is not looking for other cosmetic surgeries like facelift, laser resurfacing, etc. for rejuvenating the face and reversing the natural ageing.
