Botox injection is one of the most popular applications in the field of aesthetics. This method is not only simple and quick but also highly effective in blurring shifting wrinkles on the face and inhibiting muscle activity. Here are the details you need to know about Botox injections:

What is Botox?

• Origin: Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A – a substance produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum.
• Main effect: Temporarily inhibits muscle or sweat gland activity by blocking signals from nerves to muscles.

What are the uses of Botox injections?

2.1 Wrinkle removal: Blurring dynamic wrinkles

   Dynamic wrinkles are formed through repeated facial muscle contractions, including frowning, smiling, and raising the forehead. Botox injections temporarily paralyze the miniscule muscles responsible for wrinkling the skin, effectively diminishing their visibility.

• How it works: Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. When the muscles relax, the skin above becomes smoother.
• Common areas to inject to remove wrinkles:

  –   Forehead: Eliminates horizontal wrinkles caused by raising the eyebrows.

  –  Corners of the eyes: Softens crow’s feet when smiling.

  –   Between the eyebrows: Reduces frown lines.

  –  Corners of the mouth: Prevents sagging skin that causes an aged appearance.

2.2 Muscle atrophy: Slimming the face and body

  Botox is also injected into large muscle groups to reduce size and soften the muscle area, especially in the face and some areas of the body.

Mechanism of action:

When Botox is injected into a large muscle, this muscle will decrease activity and gradually atrophy due to lack of regular stimulation. This process occurs slowly, helping the face or body area to become slimmer naturally.

• Dynamic wrinkle removal: Blurring wrinkles caused by muscle activity, such as:
• Forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, wrinkles at the corners of the mouth.
• Slimming the face: Reducing the size of the jaw muscles, helping the face to have a natural V-line.
• Slimming the shoulders: Softening the shoulders, especially suitable for women.
• Slimming the calves: Effective for people with large calves due to muscle development.
• Reduce sweating: Botox helps control sweating in the armpits, hands, and feet.
