What is Botox Treatment exactly?

Botox, also called botulinum toxin, refers to several similar neurotoxic proteins that are used against facial wrinkles or excessive sweating. This exotoxin is used in many medical fields, especially in aesthetic plastic treatments.

Botox is derived from bacteria called Clostridium botulinum. It is also the most reliable and effective method for removing wrinkles and lines from the face. Botox does not have a systematic effect on the whole muscular system. The Botox effect is that the toxin paralyses the muscle into which it is injected. More precisely, Botox inhibits the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and thus blocks the transmission of signals from the nerve to the muscle. It can no longer contract and remains flaccid.

Why do most people get Botox?

It is mainly used to eliminate facial wrinkles and against underarm, hand and foot perspiration. Botox, which is used as a remedy for excessive sweating, has both a therapeutic and a protective function.

In the course of the ageing process, the skin loses elasticity and resilience. As a result, facial wrinkles become more noticeable day by day. The aim of this procedure is that the facial wrinkles that have settled permanently on the face open up completely and close up again over time. The formation or deepening of new facial wrinkles is also prevented with the help of Botox treatment. Furthermore, excessive sweating can be treated with botulinum toxin by blocking the sweat glands with the appropriate application methods.
