Botox Injections to Reduce Wrinkles and Folds

Botox injection (Botulinum toxin) is a non-surgical treatment. This injection is used to reduce wrinkles, folds and depression due to muscular pull. This may be used for the treatment of facial, eyelid and eyebrow asymmetries. Botox is an injection, so it is nearly painless.
Botox treatment is also known as Chemodenervation. Muscular pull is a cause of wrinkles and folds on face as well as around eyes. To reduce these wrinkles and folds, a small amount of potent neurotoxin is injected using a fine needle into muscle areas whose pull are responsible for wrinkles and folds. The intent of botox injection is to paralyze the action of muscle and lighten the creasing of overlying skin. Botox may be employed on imbalances and asymmetries in eyebrow and eyelids. It can be used for other facial purposes such as smoothing lipstick lines above the upper lip.
Some hyperkinetic muscular pull is the cause of crow’s feet, forehead creases and frown lines between eyebrows. Botox injection provides a safe and effective treatment for softening wrinkles and folds associated with hyperkinetic muscular pull.
