BOTOX TREATMENT

Wrinkles develop as result of natural aging, sun exposure and over contraction of muscles of facial expression. Botox when injected into the muscles, blocks nerve signals and temporarily paralyze the concerned muscles. Without movement of these selected facial muscles on the face, certain wrinkles may get softened, reduced or even removed.

Botox works on wrinkles that are caused by muscle movement. These are known as dynamic wrinkles, and often called “expression lines”. Most common dynamic wrinkles that botox can treat are lines on the upper face, such as the frown lines between the brows, horizontal lines on the forehead, and crow’s feet around the eyes. These lines are caused by smiling, frowning, squinting and other facial expressions.

Botox will not work on fine lines and wrinkles caused by sagging or loss of plumpness in face. These are known as static wrinkles. Static wrinkles include lines in the cheek, neck, and jaw areas and are best treated with dermal fillers.
