Expression Lines
Facial lines or expression lines forms when we make expressions on our faces but will disappear once our face returns to a resting position. As we express ourselves by laughing, smiling, or frowning, these expression lines especially around and between the eyes and forehead may deepen. Over time, these expression lines start to become permanent, leading to wrinkles.
What is botulinum toxin (BOTOX)?
Botulinum toxin or commonly referred to as Botox is a muscle-relaxing protein which is been used for both cosmetic and medicinal purposes. It is called a neurotoxin because in its purified form. It can block the nerve signals that cause your facial muscles to contract. These repeated muscle contractions causes some of the facial lines and wrinkles on our faces.
How does it work?
Botox reduces facial wrinkles by helping the facial muscles to relax. We do this by injecting small and safe amounts of Botox into facial muscles of targeted areas on your face which will paralyze the facial muscles. After the treatment, these paralyzed muscles will not contract and produce expression lines when you laugh, smile, or frown. These injections can visibly soften your deep facial lines and also prevent new lines and wrinkles from forming.
