What is Botox?

Botox or botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by a bacteria called Clostridium Botulinum. This bacterial poison is one of the world’s most dangerous poisons. But in medicine, its concentrated form is used for pharmaceutical purposes.

Here, Botox refers to the procedure of injecting this compound into the skin for cosmetic purposes.

How does Botox work?

By preventing the movement of some muscles that cause wrinkles or deeper skin lines, Botox can dramatically smooth the skin. This compound is injected into the muscles that raise the eyebrows so that the normal state of the person’s face can be maintained with the usual movements of the eyebrows. Botox treatment is also very effective in eliminating the frown lines.

As age goes up, the forehead, for example, drops and its muscles try to compensate for the droop by lifting it. This causes muscle contraction and ultimately wrinkles on both sides of the forehead. Repeated frowning is also another cause of forehead wrinkles or ‘worry lines’. Botox injection is the solution.

Botox vs. Dysport

To date, two types of botulinum toxins are more popular for injection as a cosmetic treatment: Dysport and Botox. Both are more or less similar except that Dysport should be injected in a greater amount and it sometimes lasts longer.

Botox vs. dermal fillers

Botox and dermal fillers are two non-surgical procedures both used to treat undesirable wrinkles and lines appeared on your skin due to aging or something else.

While Botox reduces the wrinkles, dermal fillers, as the name suggests, add volume to the skin. Fillers are used around the mouth, in the lips or cheeks. Botox does a great job for the lines resulting from muscle contraction. Dermal fillers, however, fill the lines which are always present, no matter you’re frowning or contracting the skin’s muscles.
