chemically derived toxin that has been used over the years to counteract various muscular issues. Most popularly, it is utilized as an aesthetic treatment to improve the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin.
How Does Botulinum Toxin Work?
What is botulinum toxin
Botulinum Toxin, sometimes referred to as "Botox" by patients, is a popular injectable that temporarily reduces or eliminates facial fine lines and wrinkles. The most commonly treated areas are frown lines, forehead creases and crow's feet near the side of the eyes. Several other areas have been treated such as thick bands in the neck, thick jaw muscles, lip lines and gummy smiles.
As we get older, fine lines and wrinkles are inevitable and are often the largest indicator of ageing and these signs of ageing can be combated through Anti-Wrinkle treatment. However, that’s not all they are used for! Anti wrinkle injections can also be used to prevent excessive sweating in the underarms, hands and feet. 1 in 30 people are affected by excessive sweating, and it can lead to feeling embarrassed in social situations if their condition is difficult to manage.
Excessive sweating can occur even when you’re not overly hot in temperature, nor taking part in exercise and the usual shop-bought deodorants and anti-perspirants can be a useless preventative.
Anti-wrinkle treatments work by temporarily preventing muscles from contracting. For the underarms, the injections block the nerves that are responsible for your sweat glands. It only stops the nerves that are directly injected, so therefore will reduce the amount of active sweat glands and leave you feeling more confident and comfortable when you’re sweat free!
The results usually last for a period of around 6-9 months before the effect wears off naturally.
Instead of filling the lines like how a dermal filler treatment would, it prevents the skin from creasing and wrinkling at the source. For this reason, anti-wrinkle injections can also be used as a preventative treatment, to stop the occurrence of these wrinkles forming. At Pinky Promise Beauty, we primarily use the highest concentration of Botulinum Toxin for this treatment.. Our prices for anti-wrinkle injections start from $15 a unit per area.
