Wrinkle lines occur around the eyes, mouth, and between eyebrows. There are numerous treatment options for wrinkles today, and many over-the-counter products and people are turning to their dermatologists for longer-lasting options. In addition to the endless anti-ageing products available online and in the market that help treat these lines and wrinkles, there is another option- Botulinum Toxin!
What is Botox?
Botulinum toxin is popularly known to people as “Botulinum toxin.” It temporarily reduces facial fine lines and wrinkles and tremendously improves overall appearance. Botox is a purified form of a drug that is made from a toxin produced by a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. It temporarily relaxes muscle movement by blocking the release of acetylcholine (an organic chemical and neurotransmitter responsible for smoothing fine lines or contracting certain muscles). Botox is a general name given to the treatment. However, you may be injected with other FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved brands like Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau. The selection of the brand depends on what your dermatologist recommends based on your facial structure and needs. Although botox is dangerous at higher levels, it can be used in regulated amounts to correct wrinkles.
