If you want to banish forehead wrinkles and crows feet, then you can achieve that with Botox. Botox is the anti-aging treatment of choice for celebrities and non-celebrities alike, because it smooths out wrinkles and reduces the signs of aging. In the last 5 years, Botox has become one of the most popular minimally-invasive cosmetic treatments.
Before Botox gained popularity as an anti-aging treatment, it was used to treat medical conditions such as muscle spasms and excessive underarm sweating. However during the treatment for muscle spasms, doctors noticed the positive impact it also had on wrinkles.
How does botox work on wrinkles?
Botox is a purified form of the botulinum toxin A which is injected into the desired area of treatment. It is often used to minimize wrinkles, especially those between the eyebrows that form as a result of frowning brow muscles. These are known as dynamic wrinkles.
Dynamic wrinkles are facial lines that form when the facial muscles contract, i.e. when you squint, frown, or smile. Botox interrupts the signal from the nerve to the muscles. Because of this, the muscles no longer contract and this will cause the muscles to relax, so that the dynamic lines are eliminated.
