Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and other visible signs of ageing. Despite its widespread use, many people are still unsure about how it works and what to expect from the treatment.
What is Botox?
Botox, also known as Botulinum Toxin, is a non-surgical treatment designed to smooth wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. It is particularly effective on the upper face, including the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
By targeting the muscles responsible for expressions such as frowning and squinting, Botox helps to relax them, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and preventing them from becoming deeper over time.
What Is Lower Face-Tox?
Lower Face Botox can be a game-changer as we move into our late 30s and beyond. It not only softens fine lines but also treats functional concerns like teeth grinding and jaw tension by relaxing the masseter muscles. Strategically placed Botox can help lift the jowls, define the jawline, and smooth vertical bands in the neck (platysmal bands), offering a more youthful profile. It can also minimise the appearance of the “Nefertiti necklace” — those horizontal neck lines that become more prominent with age. This subtle, advanced approach to Botox helps refresh and rejuvenate without altering your natural expression.
How Does Botox Work?
The treatment works by temporarily weakening specific facial muscles, preventing them from contracting as forcefully. As a result, lines and wrinkles soften, leaving the skin looking smoother and more youthful.
Administered by a trained practitioner, Botox is injected directly into the targeted areas and takes only about 10 minutes to complete. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort—most people describe it as a slight pinch that lasts only a second or two, and no numbing cream is required.
