WHAT DOES BOTULINUM TOXIN (Botox,Dysport,Masport, etc) SPECIFICALLY DO?
Botulinum toxin is a highly purified compound that is derived from the clostridium botulinum bacteria 🦠
This bacteria produces a toxin that causes paralysis of muscles. It is widely regarded as the most toxic substance known to man. Intoxication typically occurs when an ENORMOUS dose of the toxin is accidentally consumed from a contaminated food source. This causes paralysis of all muscles including the ones used for breathing. No breathing= No living
Cosmetic use of botulinum toxin is possible because minute, nano doses of the toxin is used, and at these doses it is completely safe. (Lethal dose ~ 3000 units, Cosmetic dose: 20-120 units)
Tiny amounts of this toxin is strategically injected into various points on the face. After 3-14 days the toxin takes effect and smooths out the muscles that cause wrinkles.
In this photo we can see just how important proper dosing and strategic injecting can be! It’s important to weaken the muscle enough to cause a softened look without completely freezing facial expressions.

Botox lasts about 2-6 months before your body metabolizes it and muscle function returns to normal. It does not cause a permanent change although regular use will prevent the formation of fine and deep wrinkles, maintaining the skins youthful glow 💫 This is why aesthetic specialists and dermatologists around the world recommend small doses of toxin as the number one preventative measure for facial skin aging….. After sunscreen of course 😎 🌞
