Botox: Anti Wrinkles | Anti Sweat
Botox has gone from being a relatively unknown cosmetic procedure to one of the most popular in only four decades. The effects of this healthy and natural treatment are dramatic. It involves direct injection of a purified neurotoxin called Botulinum into the treatment area, blocking messages from nerves to muscles, thereby diminishing symptoms of aging such as drooping eyebrows, wrinkles.
When it is injected into the patient’s face, it relaxes the contraction of facial muscles by blocking nerve impulses. Since these muscles will no longer be able to contract, the face relaxes and this softens and reduces wrinkles and creases in the skin.
The treatment is not permanent, so patients should anticipate re-treatments every few months to prevent further wrinkles from appearing, though each injection should also reduce the depth of newer wrinkles. In this respect, Botox can also be used preventatively, to delay the appearance of wrinkles.
Treatment takes about 15-20 minutes.
It is a popular choice with men and women who wish to reduce the appearance of winkles and frown lines, typically around the face and neck.
Moreover, Botox can be used as anti-sweat, it works by temporarily blocking the chemicals that signal it’s time for your glands to produce sweat. It doesn’t affect touch or sensation in the underarm area.
You only need one office visit to complete Botox treatment for underarm sweating. The procedure typically involves 25 injections in each armpit. Each time, your healthcare provider injects a small amount of Botox just under the skin’s surface with an extremely small needle.
