How Botox Works Beneath the Skin
Botox, or Botulinum toxin type A, temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles responsible for expression lines. This effectively reduces dynamic wrinkles—such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet—resulting in smoother, more youthful skin. By gently limiting muscle movement, Botox not only smooths existing wrinkles but also helps prevent new ones from forming over time.
Benefits of Choosing Botox
- Reduces forehead lines and crow’s feet
- Minimally invasive, with no downtime
- Quick, virtually painless procedure
- Natural, subtle results
- Results lasting 3-6 months
Understanding Wrinkle and How Botox Can Help
Wrinkles develop naturally as part of the aging process due to several factors, including the gradual reduction in collagen and elastin production, repetitive facial expressions, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits. Over time, these elements lead to decreased skin elasticity and firmness, creating fine lines and deeper wrinkles. Botox treatments at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre specifically target wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, helping to restore smoother, younger-looking skin.
