Botox Treatment To Prevent Wrinkles

Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure and the main reason people have it done is to make them younger. As we get older the levels or elastin and collagen within our skin start to rapidly diminish which means our skin starts to sag and become wrinkly. Although Botox has its limitation with regards to treating excessive sagging skin, it is very effective at treating frown lines and smile lines around the eyes.

Botox is actually a neuro toxin and it works be preventing nerves functioning within the body/face. By specifically targeting certain nerves within the face Botox can improve your cosmetic appearance. If you consider the frown lines within your forehead, the reason you get them is because of the over action of the Corrugator Supercilii muscle (the frown muscle). If the nerve that supplies this muscle is prevented from sending its signal (electric impulse) then the muscle will stop working and the frown lines/wrinkles will reduce.

A Botox practitioner is able to target specific nerves all over your face to reduce the tell-tale signs of ageing. Although Botox is used predominantly for cosmetic purposes it does also have some medical benefits too. Examples of such benefits are in the treatment of chronic migraines and excessive sweating.
As to whether Botox actually stops us ageing, well unfortunately the answer is no!
