How Does Botox Reduce Frown Lines?
Botox contains botulinum toxin type A, which is a type of neuroprotein that blocks the nerve signals being sent by the brain to the corresponding muscles. Here’s why that’s important for treating frown lines: Over time, repetitive motions – like squinting, frowning, or furrowing the brows – create creases and lines on the forehead region. These frown lines can be detrimental to achieving a youthful complexion, as they can make you look constantly tired or angry, even when you’re not. By blocking the nerve signals to these muscles, they effectively stop engaging in the repetitive movements that cause frown lines. When those muscles relax, the skin above them smooths out, resulting in minimized frown lines and wrinkles.Botox Consultations Available
