Botox Injections
What is Botox Injections ?
Botox injections are one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments used to reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines. Made from Botulinum toxin type A, Botox temporarily relaxes the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, giving you a smoother, younger-looking appearance.Botox works by blocking the nerve signals to the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting. As a result, the overlying skin becomes smoother and the appearance of wrinkles is significantly reduced.
Common Areas Treated with Botox
- Forehead lines (horizontal lines)
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows – glabellar lines)
- Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
- Bunny lines (lines on the nose)
