BOTOX® contains highly purified botulinum toxin type A, a neurotransmitter blocker used to treat overactive muscles. As a cosmetic material, it is primarily used for wrinkle reduction and facial slimming. So, what types of wrinkles can BOTOX® address?
What is BOTOX?
Experts explain that BOTOX, known in Chinese as Baotuo Shi, is a type A botulinum toxin formulation produced by the globally renowned GlaxoSmithKline (China) Investment Co., Ltd. It is the world's most recognized injectable type A botulinum toxin brand. BOTOX effectively reduces various facial wrinkles such as forehead lines, glabellar lines (between the eyebrows), crow's feet, and nasal bridge wrinkles.
BOTOX wrinkle reduction works by blocking nerve signals between nerves and muscles, relaxing overactive facial muscles and thereby smoothing dynamic wrinkles. After treatment, facial muscles remain smooth without forming wrinkles, so normal facial expressions are unaffected.
Which wrinkles can BOTOX injections eliminate?
1. Fine facial wrinkles, forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet, cheek lines;
2. Deeper facial folds and depressions, nasolabial folds, pronounced forehead lines, cheek creases, glabellar lines, and chin wrinkles;
3. Prominent under-eye bags, nasolabial folds, and neck wrinkles;
4. Deep wrinkles present even when the face is expressionless;
5. Sagging facial skin with noticeable drooping.
Experts note that BOTOX injections for wrinkle reduction cause less damage and offer higher safety compared to surgical procedures. However, the dosage, injection sites, and injection depth all require significant expertise. Therefore, individuals seeking BOTOX treatments must choose reputable, professional cosmetic surgery institutions to avoid potential complications.
