Why Botox?
Because botulinum toxin (AKA botox) cancels superficially the nerve signals to the muscles, producing a temporary non-invasive paralysis in the treated area. When the nerve -muscle communication is blocked, the muscle relaxes and decreases its contraction, softening fine lines and wrinkles and preventing their future formation.
Softness Expression Lines and Wrinkles
Botox treats and improves dynamic wrinkles, those formed by facial movements when expressing emotions.
Prevents Formation of Wrinkles
If used at an early age, Botox can prevent the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which could take longer to appear.
Leaves Skin Smooth
Without altering facial expression, maintaining the natural appearance of the skin.
Where is Botox applied?
Botox treats and improves dynamic wrinkles, those formed by facial movements when expressing emotions. Thus, the most common areas of treatment are located in the upper face on the forehead and outer eye area, but it will always depend on individual needs.
