Botox
Botox® cosmetic is a drug created from a bacterial neurotoxin called botulinum that when injected in small doses can relax the targeted muscles in your face that can cause unwanted lines and wrinkles, in turn giving you a softer and more relaxed appearance. Botox injections can also create a lifting effect by relaxing the muscles that pull down on the eyebrows giving a brighter, more youthful look.
Facial wrinkling occurs for several reasons. In addition to aging and genetics, loss of skin elasticity and sun exposure can hasten the formation of wrinkles over time. Smoking and other lifestyle choices can also speed up this process. The areas which are typically targeted for these treatments are deep frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and fine lines around the lips.
