BOTOX INJECTIONS
WHAT IS BOTOX?
Botox is a toxin called “onobotulinumtoxinA,” uses a toxin known as botulism which works by preventing muscle movement temporarily. Other products on the market utilized to have the same effect are known as abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport), rimabotulinumtoxinB (Myobloc), and incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin).
WHAT IS USED FOR?
Botox injections are noted for their ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. Apart from aesthetics, they are used to decrease migraines and excessive sweating. This last one is medically known as hyperhidrosis, commonly seen on the armpits. Lastly, Botox injections are also used for overactive bladder and lazy eye.
WHY BOTOX?
As we age, human collagen decreases. Non-surgical interventions help restore that natural and youthful look. Relaxing the muscle and reducing the fine lines and wrinkles on the face decreases the appearance of aging and tiredness while still allowing facial expressions. One of the advantages of the injections is that no anesthesia is required for the procedure, and many patients go back to work.
