Botulinum Toxin (Botox)
Botox is commonly used to treat wrinkles and facial creases. It blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can’t contract, which makes the wrinkles relax and soften. The most common treating areas by using this procedure are on forehead lines, frown lines and also crow’s feet (lines around the eyes).
It can also help to treat other conditions:
- excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
- cervical dystonia, in this painful condition, your neck muscles contract involuntarily causing your head to twist or turn into an uncomfortable position.a neurological disorder that causes severe neck and shoulder muscle spasms
- eye twitching
Botox injection is relatively safe when performed by an experienced doctor.
