Botox 101

Everything You Need to Know About the Popular Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

We hear the word Botox and think well…it’s not for me (most likely due to the stigma). 

What is Botox?

Botox, short for Botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In the medical and cosmetic contexts, Botox refers to a purified and diluted form of this toxin, which is used in small doses for various therapeutic and aesthetic purposes.

In weaker doses, botulinum toxin is used to reduce facial wrinkles. After injection into the muscle, the injected muscle starts to relax and this is where the magic is done. 

This relaxation of the muscle softens the wrinkles and eventually makes these wrinkles disappear. Botox treatments can be used for correction of lines, creases and wrinkling all over the face, chin, neck, and underarms for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). 

Treatment areas: 

Common treatment areas include: frown lines (11’s), forehead, crows feet, brow lift, bunny lines, lip flip, chin (mentalis), DAOs (corners of mouth), platysma bands (neck), underarms (hyperhydrosis), and others

Testimonial:

“This is my experience with botox. I started working in the aesthetics clinic and did not know much about what botox is or it’s benefits let alone how it works. I sat down with the registered nurse of 10 years and she walked me through what is botox and how it helps. She reassured me it relaxes the muscles in the wrinkle area. She also reassured me I would see results in 3-4 days then see it’s full effects in 2 weeks. It has been 4 weeks and I am one happy customer. So what’s holding you back from trying botox? You can’t be as skeptical as I was.” – TSB
