What Is Botox?
Botox is a protein enzyme that is injected into the surface of the skin to relax the muscles. By halting muscle activity, wrinkles, and fine lines are smoothened effectively. Known as a quick beauty “touch-up”, this treatment leaves no residual damage or scarring to the muscle tissue or skin.
Botox is a popular and convenient treatment that specifically targets areas on your face that are more likely to develop wrinkles as you get older: the upper part (creases or lines between the eyebrows and on the forehead), the middle part (lines under the eyes or the sides of the nose), the lower part (smoker and chin lines), and further down to the neck (jowls and neck lines).
You may also avail the Botox treatment to address issues such as excessive underarm sweating, muscular dysfunction, eyelid spasms, cross-eyedness, and other conditions.
How Does Botox Work?
Wrinkles are naturally caused by frequent facial movements that are most evident on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines).
Once a targeted area is injected with tiny doses of Botox, it blocks the release of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for muscle contraction. As the Botox temporarily freezes the muscle, it will be unable to contract or spasm, making it more relaxed and loosened. The result is a smoother facial expression.
However, the skin’s aging process continues, and with it, comes maintenance treatments to prolong the positive effects of Botox. This is typically an outpatient procedure and you can leave the clinic right after a session. If you do experience numbing or nausea, it is advisable to bring a companion to drive you home.
Benefits of Botox
Continuous Botox treatments result in smoother, wrinkle-free, and younger-looking skin. However, there are other non-cosmetic benefits that you ought to learn about too:
Reduces Visible Signs of Aging
Besides the standard smoothing of wrinkles and fine lines, Botox can prevent the development of new wrinkles and subtly contour facial characteristics. A board-certified dermatologist or a supervising physician is trained to reduce facial wrinkles without you having to worry about looking “frozen”.
Stops Excessive Sweating
The clinical term for sweating excessively is called hyperhidrosis. When antiperspirant and deodorant do not help, a Botox injection can block the chemical, acetylcholine, that activates the sweat glands.
Treats Different Medical Conditions
Botox is used to correct eye problems as well, such as lazy eyes, crossed eyes, rapid eye blinking, and eye spasms. Other medical uses of Botox include the treatment of incontinence or an overactive bladder, TMJ, neck spasms, and joint pain.
Easy and Convenient
It does not take an entire day to have a Botox treatment. From start to finish, this non-invasive treatment can last for around 25-30 minutes at the clinic.
