11 Mar Botox in wrinkle treatment: these are the advantages

There is hardly a person who is really happy about the signs of ageing on their face. Wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows or around the mouth make us look tense, exhausted and unfortunately also old. For this reason, they are often perceived as annoying. The good news is that nobody has to put up with this! A very effective method in the Wrinkle treatment is the use of Botox®.

What is Botox? How does it work?

Botox is an active ingredient produced by various strains of the bacterial species Clostridium botulinum. It has been used in aesthetic medicine to treat wrinkles since the 1990s.

The wrinkle-smoothing effect of Toxin unfolds when the substance is injected into the facial muscles. The active ingredient reaches the corresponding nerve endings of the muscles via the blood. Here, Botox binds to the so-called presynaptic membrane, which inhibits the transmission of excitation from the nerve cells to the muscles. The injection prevents the muscle from contracting. The treated muscles relax - and thus the wrinkles are also smoothed out. The effect of treatment with Botox lasts for around four to nine months. After that, repeat treatments are always possible.

The fact that Botox is a safe active ingredient is demonstrated by its medical applications: It is used by doctors, for example, to treat migraines, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) or to treat seizures - even in children.

Which wrinkles can be treated with Botox?

The rule of thumb here is: Botox fights expression lines!
The active ingredient can therefore be used to treat wrinkles on the face that form as a result of severe stress on certain areas.

This is because mimic wrinkles occur when the same muscles under the skin are repeatedly tensed. This also strains the skin in the same places.

Botox can be used to effectively alleviate or remove transverse forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, frown lines or even nose wrinkles.

Advantages of Botox

• An injection with Botox is efficient and not costly.
• Compared to a facelift, there is no surgical intervention.
• A treatment only takes ten to 20 minutes.
• The treatment is almost completely painless and has hardly any side effects or risks.
• No regeneration phase is necessary, you can return to your normal everyday life immediately after the Botox injection.
• The results are visible after just a few days.
• With regular treatment with the substance, no more expression lines can develop in the corresponding areas in the future.
