Botulinum Toxin
Anti-wrinkle injections, scientifically referred to as botulinum toxin injections, represent a cosmetic intervention designed to transiently attenuate the manifestation of facial wrinkles and fine lines.
A prominent formulation in this category, incorporates a purified variant of botulinum toxin isolated from Clostridium botulinum.
Key aspects Key aspects of the mechanistic process
Neuromuscular Inhibition
Botulinum toxin interferes with presynaptic nerve terminals, impeding the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. This results in the temporary paralysis or reduction of muscle activity.
Muscle Relaxation and Wrinkle Mitigation
By dampening muscle contractions, particularly those associated with dynamic facial expressions, botulinum toxin diminishes the appearance of wrinkles. This mechanism proves particularly effective in addressing facial lines induced by repetitive muscle movements.
Hyperhirdosis
Benefits of Botox injections for hyperhidrosis include reduced sweating, improved quality of life, long-lasting results, non-invasive treatment, minimal side effects, and a quick procedure.
