Botox
How Does Botox Work?
Botox is a neuromodulator (form of botulinum toxin type A) that is injected into targeted treatment areas using an ultra-fine needle. It works by blocking the nerve signals needed for facial muscles to contract. It’s the repetitious contraction of facial muscles that causes expression lines and wrinkles. Once injected, the neuromodulator relaxes the muscles and decreases their movement to reduce the appearance of lines or wrinkles in the area. You will see your results gradually over 7-10 days following injection.
Easy And Effective Treatment
No one is immune to wrinkles. Just squinting in the bright sunlight or concentrating at a board meeting can create facial lines over time.
This type of wrinkle, which is created by muscle movement, is called a “dynamic wrinkle” and BOTOX Cosmetic is designed to target the cause.
