What Is Botox and How Does it Work?
Botox is a toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum. When used in controlled doses, it has therapeutic and cosmetic benefits. It blocks the nerve signals in muscles, keeping them from contracting, which minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and lines.
Botox injections contain botulinum toxin type A. They're injected directly into the muscles to eliminate any muscle activity. Its mechanism of functioning is to prevent communication between nerves and muscles. To be more specific, it controls the release of acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter that oversees muscle contraction.
For instance, Botox is often applied to the muscles that cause crow's feet. This prevents them from contracting, which results in the skin over them becoming smooth.

ANOTHER TREATMENT OPTION:
Dermal Fillers
As we age, our skin is susceptible to wrinkling and sagging. Our skin gradually thins and loses elasticity through the diminishment of dermal collagen, hyaluronic acid (HA), and elastin. This aging process is accelerated by sun damage and other extrinsic factors, such as smoking, which contribute to tissue breakdown of the skin. his becomes evident with facial volume loss and laxity. As facial contours change with age, treatment with dermal fillers is beneficial for facial sculpting and contouring.
