WHAT ARE BOTOX INJECTIONS?
Well-known as Botox, this revolutionary product is a protein derived from a micro-organism (like penicillin) which is injected in very small doses into the muscles responsible for wrinkles between the eyebrows, crow's feet and forehead wrinkles. It can also be injected just below the eyebrow to create a lifting effect.
What's more, it's also used to treat excessive underarm perspiration!
HOW DOES THE BOTOX INJECTION PROCEDURE WORK?
How does Botox work?
Nerves produce and transport a chemical substance (acetylcholine) which enables the muscle to contract. Botulinum toxin (Botox) prevents the propagation of acetylcholine, thus blocking muscle contraction.
The treatment takes 5 minutes, and lasts about 4 to 6 months. Stopping treatment will not worsen existing wrinkles. What's more, if administered by an experienced professional, the results are very natural.
The product has been known for a very long time, long before its use for wrinkles, and has proven to be very safe.
It is thought that repeated treatments can prevent or delay the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.
Between 3 and 4 months.
Not at all. Botox is known to slow down the aging process.
