In the beauty world, Botox® treatments are always trendy. It is a safe but above all effective way to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Botox® never ceases to be popular for making the time pass slower - it diminishes the visible effects of aging on your face. In comparison to skincare products and other new technologies, Botox® is on the top when it comes to injectable wrinkle-smoothing treatments.
WHAT CAUSES FACIAL WRINKLES?
Aging is not the only reason that can affect the skin. Facial wrinkles can be formed by overusing muscles to make expressions. These lines are called dynamic wrinkles and the well-known examples are crow’s feet and vertical frowning lines between eyebrows.
As time passes and the skin gets older it loses its natural compounds like collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. It loses volume, hydrations and proteins that make it stretch. So the dynamic wrinkles that used to disappear when the skin was younger and fresher, actually stay on the face and can be seen even when the muscles are relaxed. Then these wrinkles become static and are visible all the time.
There are also some other factors that contribute to the formation of wrinkles such as environmental influences like too much sun exposure, stress and smoking.
WHAT IS BOTOX®?
Botox® consists of a botulinum toxin type A which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This compound actually represents an extremely purified neurotoxic protein that aims at nerves that are in charge of muscle movement. It freezes the nerves and prevents them from producing the signals which trigger muscle movements. The result is that overactive muscles become relaxed and dynamic wrinkles are no longer produced. This fact is what makes Botox® so effective in preventing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. After the treatment, your skin is smoother and more youthful.
The history of botulinum toxin goes way back, even before it was used for cosmetic purposes. First, it was used in medicine for the treatment of strabismus, then for muscle spasms and in the end for softening the lines. This last effect was actually a side effect that brought Botulinum toxin to the role and the name it has today. It was officially named Botox® and it started to be used for cosmetic purposes in1992.

HOW BOTOX® WORKS
When you decide to undergo Botox® treatment first you will be consulted by Lucia Clinic physicians. They examine your face in ®detail and see what kind of facial expressions you actually make. They will ask you about your medical history and also the most important question - what goals you wish to achieve with Botox treatment. After the physicians confirm you are a suitable candidate, the treatment can start.
The Botox® treatment lasts very shortly, and it is just mildly uncomfortable so there is no need for anaesthesia. The physician first cleans the area which will be treated and then injects Botox ®with a tiny needle into the targeted muscles. As already mentioned, you experience only mild discomfort during the injecting of Botox® and that is one of the reasons why this cosmetic procedure is so popular.
