Botulinum toxin or neuromodulator (commonly called botox) temporarily improves the appearance of the crow’s feet and frown lines between the brows in adults. Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum Toxin Type A is sold under the names of Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Nuceiva, and Xiomin.
ANTI-WRINKLE TREATMENT (BOTULINUM TOXIN)
WHAT IS BOTULINUM TOXIN?
HOW DOES ANTI-WRINKLE TOXIN WORK?
Do you frown or squint? Wrinkles are created from many factors, it is not just due to the reduction in collagen, or environmental damages. Due to the years of repeated muscle contractions, frown lines and crow’s feet are created. For example, when you concentrate or frown, the muscles between one’s brow contract causing the skin to furrow and fold. Botulinum toxin targets the muscles creating these lines to reduce muscle activity. Your specialist will inject the muscle areas with neurotoxin to evidently smooth out your face lines.
