Botox
The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name BOTOX®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminat es frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
Studies have also suggested that BOTOX is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.
Wrinkles come from muscle movement and aging of the skin. Botox specifically and precisely limits muscle movement and both prevents and corrects dynamic wrinkles. Note that wrinkles and furrows that are present at rest may require additional treatments, such as injectable fillers or laser resurfacing.
