Botox shots block certain chemical signals from nerves that cause muscles to contract. The most common use of these injections is to relax the facial muscles that cause frown lines and other facial wrinkles.
Botox uses a small amount that does not cause toxicity to the human body after refining and diluting the neurotoxin secreted by botulinum bacteria to block the secretion of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, at the neuromuscular junction and to treat overdeveloped square jaw, calf, and trapezius muscles.
Botox Areas:
Upper Face
- Frown lines (between eyebrows) - glabella lines are the vertical creases that appear between the eyebrows, generating a tired or angry look.
- Forehead lines - horizontal forehead lines are mostly due to genetic ageing. Sun damage or smoking can also result in the formation of creases that are deeper and more difficult to treat.
- Top of the nose (bunny lines)
Eyes
- Eyebrows/hooded eyes - can be used very effectively to counteract this effect, raising and defining the eyebrows.
- Wrinkles around the eyes (crow's feet) - anti-ageing injectables in this area can also help alleviate drooping eyelids - an effect that can make the eyes appear smaller.
- Under the eyes (tear trough) - bags under the eyes are often caused by loss of volume in the tear through area, meaning dermal fillers may be more suitable.
Lower Face
- Lipstick lines (around the mouth) - we use muscles in this area when we smile and for other facial expressions.
- Chin botox (to prevent dimpling)
- Jawline & neck
