- undoubtably the most popular and well known cosmetic
injection, Botox is a wrinkle treatment that is popular among all different
types and ages of people. Botox involves
the projection of a special protein that works by inhibiting muscle
contractions for about 3 to 4 months.
When the muscle contractions are inhibited, the spots where wrinkles
form will quickly be smoothed and tightened.
How Does Botox Work?
- Botox actually prevents wrinkles from appearing by relaxing
the underlying muscles so they don’t contract. Botox blocks impulses from the
nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are related to expression lines . After
treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and unwrinkled while the untreated
facial muscles contract in a normal fashion, allowing your normal facial
expression to be unaffected.
