WHAT IS BOTULINUM TOXIN AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Many people have heard of Botox, but are not fully aware of its effects and uses. So what exactly is Botox ? The botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Used in aesthetic medicine, it temporarily blocks the contraction of the muscles responsible for expression wrinkles, thus offering an immediate and lasting improvement. smoothing and preventive effect on the skin.

CONTROLLED MUSCLE RELAXATION

When we contract a facial muscle, the skin above it follows suit, leading to the appearance of wrinkles over time. Botulinum toxin blocks temporarily communication between nerves and muscles by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. The result: targeted muscles relax, and skin becomes smoother.

A LIFTING EFFECT ON EYEBROWS AND EYES

Some facial muscles work in opposition to each other, as in the case of the eyebrows. Their position is the result of a balance between :

• The muscles that lower, These include the eye orbicularis and corrugator muscles (frown lines).
• The muscles that check, particularly the frontal muscle.

Injecting botulinum toxin into the abductor muscles reduces their strength, allowing the levator muscles to take over. This effect creates a eye brightening, It smoothes the forehead area and provides a sensation of natural rejuvenation.

A GRADUAL, REVERSIBLE EFFECT

The action of Botox is not immediate: it takes approx. 3 to 10 days to observe the first results, with an optimal effect around 10 days. Botulinum toxin works for about 4 months, after which the nerve connection gradually resumes normal activity. To prolong the effect of botox, A new session is recommended at regular intervals.

So, with fine-tuned control of dosage and injection points, it is possible to obtain a natural, harmonious results, without freezing facial expressions.
