What is Botox ?

BOTOX is actually Botulinum Toxin Type A that is injected into facial muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.

​

How does Botox work ?

Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. 

Cosmetic Botox injections work by blocking the nerve signals to certain muscles.

The muscles then become more relaxed, which in turn reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the skin.

However, occasionally some light bruising or redness around the area of injection might occur, although this shouldn’t last long.

Rare side-effects can include difficulty in swallowing, speaking and breathing – if this happens you should seek medical attention immediately.

However, the above side effects are super rare, especially when the procedure has been carried out by a dermatologist using the ideal dosage.
