Botox
What Is Botox Cosmetic?
Botox is an FDA-approved prescription medication that lessens the movement of treated areas by blocking nerve impulses and improving appearance by minimizing lines and wrinkles. The cosmetic is injected into the muscles below the areas where lines and wrinkles are located usually around the eyes and mouth, between the brows, and on the forehead.
You don’t have to look your age. It’s easy to look youthful and vibrant with botox injections. This fast treatment minimizes wrinkles and reduces forehead lines and crow’s feet.
How Does Botox Work?
There are many causes of the lines and wrinkles that develop as we age. When we frown, squint, or even smile, the muscles contract causing the skin to fold and crease. After years of this repeated movement, the skin begins showing the effects.
Sun damage can also cause lines and wrinkles, as can the cellular changes that come with normal aging.
But botox can temporarily ‘undo’ this damage.
Using tiny needles, botox is injected under the skin where it relaxes the muscles, giving the face a fresh, smooth appearance as the muscular activity decreases.
