How Does Botox Work?

Botox is a substance that is derived from that of botulism toxin which is then injected into the patient in small doses for reducing wrinkles. This procedure is usually performed by a physician but can also be done by a nurse or an aesthetic/cosmetic surgeon at home. As with botox antiwrinkle injections.

How does botox injected into muscles?

Botox is injected into the facial muscles, usually while the patient is under anesthesia.  Botox causes for muscles to contract and tighten preventing the creases that cause wrinkles. For example, when the muscles contract, frown lines, crow’s feet and other lines appear to soften appearance. When done correctly, botox only causes minimal discomfort and injection treatments generally last only a few minutes.

Because botox is injected into the facial muscles, it can also be performed to reduce sweat lines that appear around the eyes, and to treat furrowed brows and forehead wrinkles. It cannot, however, treat very deep brow furrows. When injected into the forehead, it can only treat the top part of the brow. Topical treatments, which are creams or lotions that are applied to the skin, are usually more effective in treating furrows.

Topical preparations are limited by the amount of time they have to soak into the skin before being discarded. The advantage, however, is that they can still be used as ‘cost-free’ alternatives to fillers like botox.

Botox is a poison, the nerve toxin that causes botulism. Botulism can, in rare cases, cause respiratory infections.  Botulism is also frequently used as a hair growth inhibitor.

• be injected directly into the skin, into the muscle tissue
• inject too close to the eyes, or at the site of an eyebrow lift
• injected too close to the mouth
• unionid with a very fine needle
• reduced in size since it is diluted with salt water
• can be injected more firmly over the skin
• can contain different ingredients

Botox is a protein that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.  It is produced in a laboratory by regulations, but the botulinum toxin is available as a NHS prescription only.

The complex tension between muscles, nerve, and blood vessels, that make up the face, explain why the face is not simply a series of lines that meet at the eyes, but is actually a complex set of muscles, nerves, and blood vessels that confine the face to a small area.  This is why the face is frequently one of the first places where people notice ageing.

There are five basic face shapes. The oval, Figure 1, is essentially a cross-section of the face.  It starts at theweet inside corner of the eye, travels across to the side, across the cheek, andFinally, at the bottom, the throat. Inhaling the air gives you a tip over your left cheek, assisting it to expand over the years. By closing the mouth, the nose is lifted, lengthening and broadening the face.Eat sweet and fill the belly.

The heart is referred to as the second face shape, Figure 2, because it features a broad chin and broad forehead.  The concern with the chin is whether it is wide or narrow, Figure 3. As with the earlier shapes, the wide part of the front is seen in the forefront, Figure 4. This feature must be highlighted if you have a broad forehead.

The next shape is Figure 5, or the model’s face. This shape features a narrow chin and a full, high forehead. How high the eyebrows are will determine whether the forehead is limited to the right or left side of the face Figure 6. By lifting the brows, the forehead is often accentuated. This face shape can also be referred to as theacentral region, because it is located between the center of the eyes and the nose.

The last shape, Figure 7, is referred to as theventral regionof the face. This region extends from the hairline to the bottom of the nose. This may look very complicated, especially if the face is not symmetrical. When the hair is on the same level with the eyebrows, the face is considered to be even. Figure 8 shows a histogram of the summed length measurements for all face shapes. A positive sign is shown for a greater length difference across the width of the face.

The individual’s face shape will improve or not based on the fashion choices that are made for that shape. For example, those that choose a fuller or rounder face, with a narrow or pointy nose, will often have a wider forehead and a small chin. If those with square faces strive to have a rectangular or even circular face, they may end up creating an illusion of length. Using banana clips to pull hair up away from the face can also help the illusion of length to appear.
