What is Botox?
Botox is the only FDA-approved treatment for temporarily improving the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet wrinkles in adults.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox is used to treat one of the main causes of frown lines and crow’s feet: repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over time. The doctor will inject these muscles to reduce muscular activity temporarily. You may notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.
Treatment
Botox can be used to treat various areas, such as:
- (Forehead) Frown lines
- (Eyes) Crow’s feet
- (Face) Facial slimming/contouring
- (Neck) Neck bands
Botox is mostly used as aesthetic medical treatment for wrinkles and lines on the face. However, it has other medically therapeutic uses as well.
- Excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Botox is an effective treatment for focal hyperhidrosis. The nerve signals that cause sweating are blocked by botulinum toxin in Botox injections, which prevents the sweat glands from overproducing sweats. - Teeth Grinding/Clenching (Bruxism)
To treat Bruxism, small doses of botulinum toxin would be injected directly into the masseter muscle (the large muscle that moves the jaw), which weakens the muscle enough to eliminate teeth grinding and jaw clenching that occurs unintentionally. It considerably relaxes the muscle and lessens the damage that grinding has on the teeth.
