What Is BOTOX?
BOTOX is a neuromodulator, not to be confused with dermal fillers. While some dermal fillers work to provide firmness, and plumpness, and boost skin texture and quality, BOTOX works by blocking nerves from receiving messages from the brain. These nerves are responsible for muscle contractions. These repeated muscle contractions in and around the face are what eventually lead to wrinkles and expression lines.
What Does BOTOX Do?
Since BOTOX works to block nerve signals between your facial muscles and brain, wrinkles and expression lines won’t form. This can help address numerous different common expression lines caused by different types of expressions including:
- Smiling
- Frowning
- Laughing
- Crying
BOTOX can be used to treat many different types of expression lines and wrinkles regardless of where they are. BOTOX can also help treat hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating. BOTOX works limit the muscles around the sweat glands, which will cause you to sweat less.
BOTOX can also help reduce or even eliminate the appearance of platysmal bands, which are the long lines that can form all around your neck. This treatment can help reduce or eliminate many other unwanted skin concerns and is a great option for those looking for a more rejuvenated appearance.
When Will I See the Results?
BOTOX results can often be seen in less than a week. Full results are usually seen in three to four months, but this can vary from person to person as each individual metabolizes neuromodulators at varying speeds. It is also important to note that it may also take a few sessions of BOTOX to achieve your desired results.
