Botox or Botulinum toxin is a protein and neurotoxin produced by a bacteria known as Clostridium Botulinum. Botox injection is a non-invasive method of injecting a protein into the tissues mainly to paralyze and weaken the muscles that are responsible for the lines and wrinkles on our face. It is an effective anti-wrinkle treatment with high satisfaction rates in the aesthetics industry; moreover, it is also well-known for handling hyperhidrosis as well as for calf reduction.

<For Wrinkles>
Facial wrinkles are caused by repeated facial movements such as speaking, laughing and crying. These expressions train the muscles and cause contraction, which will then form wrinkles. Botox is a type of protein extract that can weaken the action of the neurotransmitter called ‘acetylcholine’. When nerve transmission is blocked, muscles cannot be moved excessively, thus smoothing away and preventing wrinkles.

<For Masseter Muscle>
This treatment is ideal if you have bruxism, or teeth grinding in which you clench your teeth even when unconscious, which leads to frequent headaches and the wearing out of teeth. When teeth grinding occurs out of habit, the muscles around the jaw (masseter muscle) can expand, which makes your face look more square and bigger. Botox can prevent bruxism by suppressing muscle movement, leading to the thinning of the muscle, and alleviating teeth grinding and headaches. Overtime, your face will have a softer contour and smaller size.

<For Hyperhidrosis>
If you experience excessive sweating that gets in the way of daily life, Botox injection can help. It is approved by the FDA to treat hyperhidrosis by blocking the neurotransmitter that activates the sweat glands. When your nerves can’t signal your sweat glands, you don’t sweat at the injected area.

<For Calves Contouring>
When botox is injected into the calf muscle, the toxin can paralyze certain nerves and prevent the muscles from contracting fully. When the muscles relax, thinning of the muscles occurs since there is no movement. Overtime, this will slim down the calves.
