Botox injections are praised and scolded by all and sundry. Many are still convinced that this drug was created exclusively for anti-aging procedures.
But this is far from true! With what diseases you can’t do without it and how exactly it helps, said an expert in botulinum therapy.
Together with an expert, we will figure out what beauty problems Botox injections will help to solve!
Scientifically, Botox has an official name: botulinum toxin (a neuroprotein), which is a neurotoxin secreted by an anaerobic gram-positive spore-forming microorganism.
Prevents wrinkles from getting worse
To understand how Botox can help, you need to clearly understand how it works. Injections of this drug have a relaxing effect on the muscles, more precisely, with their help, you can easily adjust their tone. And the first misconception is that Botox cannot completely remove the nasolabial folds, but it can have an excellent effect on the muscle that forms the nasolabial fold. This is the same muscle that raises the upper corner of the lips when smiling, talking, or laughing. In people with pronounced mimic activity, this fold deepens faster than usual, and timely correction of the tone of this particular muscle will lead to a decrease in the depth of the nasolabial fold and slow down the formation of its depth.
Corrects the nose
Botox cannot correct the shape of the nose, but it can quite successfully visually narrow it by working with the tone of the muscles that are in the area of the wings of the nose and its lateral surface. This is where the muscle is located that inflates and constricts the nostrils when we get angry, scream or laugh. Spot injections of Botox can reduce the tone of these muscles. That is, the wings of the nose will not swell as much as possible, which visually looks spectacular: the nose will take on an elegant, more defined shape.
Removes eyebrow asymmetry
In aesthetic cosmetology, it is difficult to imagine the best solution for correcting or correcting eyebrow asymmetry. Neuroprotein injections help make the face not only beautiful but also give it a more harmonious, correct expression. This is especially true for those who have experienced paralysis or suffered a stroke, and this is not so much the field of cosmetology as assistance in neurological medicine.
Erases the “barcode” above the upper lip
Botox easily regulates the tone of any muscle – it can be increased or decreased depending on the problem. This is our main friend and assistant in the fight against the network of wrinkles above the upper lip – in cosmetology we call them a barcode or purse-string wrinkles. After the introduction of a small dose of the drug, the elasticity of the skin returns, and it looks very natural!
Blocks sweating
An exceptional solution for those who constantly sweat, and no deodorants help to cope with this problem. This is called hyperhidrosis. There are two effective ways to get rid of it: the removal of sweat glands and Botox injections. Removal is carried out using a laser: the doctor makes a puncture of 2 mm and the laser “burns out” the glands. Of course, this procedure is quite traumatic. But there is also a more gentle method – blocking the work of the sweat glands with the help of botulinum toxin preparations. True, this method requires regularity. Depending on the individual characteristics of the body, injections should be repeated every 3-9 months. Be prepared for the fact that the armpits need a lot of units of the drug. But already a week after the injections, you can safely go to the gym and the bath, enjoying the permanent freshness. If hyperhidrosis has affected the palms or feet, Botox will also help.
