Are you looking for Botox for cosmetic purposes? Reducing the appearance of face wrinkles is the primary use of Botox. In fact, the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery recently shared that Botox injections are the most popular cosmetic procedure nationwide. Doctors have been using Botox for years to successfully treat wrinkles and facial creases.
Botox is most often used on forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye), and frown lines, lines at the corner of the mouth, and “cobblestone” skin on the chin. Wrinkles caused by sun damage and gravity will not respond to Botox. It can also be used for lip lines and for the chin and corner of the mouth and neck.
Botox is a brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This toxin, called Botulinum, is very deadly. However, when used appropriately and in a therapeutic context, it is safe and beneficial.
Botox works by targeting the nervous system. It blocks signals from the nerves that cause muscle contractions. The injected muscle in turn can’t contract. This makes the wrinkles relax and soften.
