Botulinum Toxin, a neurotoxin in the form of a
purified protein. The mechanism of action for Botulinum Toxin is really
quite simple; it is injected into facial muscles but really doesn’t
affect the muscle at all. Botulinum Toxin works by blocking the
transmitters between the motor nerves that innervate the muscle.
The
areas typically treated with Botulinum Toxin for wrinkles are the
forehead, between the eyes (glabellar region), around the corners of the
eyes (crow’s feet) and around the lips (smokers lines or gummy smile).
There is no loss of sensory feeling in the muscles. Once the motor nerve
endings are interrupted, the muscle cannot contract, causing wrinkles
in the skin to smooth. The effects of BotulinumToxin ( last
approximately three to four months, at which time the patient will
require retreatment.
Botox Cosmetic is an injectable wrinkle muscle relaxer. It uses botulinum toxin type A, specifically OnabotulinumtoxinA, to temporarily paralyze muscle. This reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles.
A Botox treatment is minimally invasive. It’s considered a safe, effective treatment for fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. It can also be used on the forehead between the eyes.
