What Is Botox?

Botox is a neuromodulator that disrupts repetitive muscular contractions. To explain this dynamic in detail, let’s take a closer look at how our expressive faces function. Every time you smile, wink, or frown, your nervous system sends signals to the fine muscles in your face. The neural pathways emit acetylcholine to trigger the muscular contractions in question, and your emotions are displayed for all the world to see.^[1]

Over time, facial contractions create deeper and deeper creases in the skin. Every muscle movement pulls at the skin, wrinkling it long after the expression has faded. To break this cycle of involuntary muscle motion, Botox/Jeuveau gets to the source of wrinkles. Dr. Wolin injects the appropriate dosage of neuromodulator to the neural junction. This interrupts the flow of acetylcholine, thus halting the muscular contraction to that specific muscle. Botox/Jeuveau recipients are able to express themselves without repetitive and excessive stress on their skin. All that remains is a calm confidence that smooths your demeanor. 

Benefits of Neuromodulators

In less than half an hour, you can address muscles that have been distressing your appearance for decades. Botox/Jeuveau targets overactive musculature, easing it gradually yet thoroughly for months of relief.

In addition to the obvious physical benefits that Botox/Jeuveau  affords, it also entails a bevy of psychological perks. By relaxing the lines along the brow, you are able to convey your emotions more subtly. Onlookers may interact with you in a whole new manner, reacting to the pleasing sense of mastery you now command over your facial features.

Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 7.4 million neuromodulator injections are administered each year.^[2] The effects of Botox have been extremely well researched. In fact, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) have approved its use for cosmetic enhancement, chronic migraine relief, and the treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).^[3,4] Truly, this is a versatile solution.

Complementary and Alternative Procedures 

There are two major dynamics at play when it comes to wrinkles: muscular contractions and sagging skin. Neuromodulators can release the tension of overactive facial muscles, but the latter issue may require an alternative and/or additional approach. As skin ages, its underlying support structures like elastin and collagen are less plentiful. Gaps begin to form beneath the surface, allowing skin to hang away from its muscles and soft tissue. To plump those gaps, consider the benefits of a dermal filler or fat transfer.

If lax skin is more pronounced, you may think about the transformative effects of a facelift. Dr. Wolin can remove excess skin and bring harmony back to the structure of your face. A facelift should never change the essence of how you look, but rather accentuate your youthful self. Dr. Wolin understands that the ideal contours of your appearance just need some help emerging. 

Now that you have achieved the proper facial proportions and dimensions, take a close look at your complexion. Ablative chemical Croton Oil peels as well as laser resurfacing can reduce blemishes like age spots and acne scars, providing a youthful glow to your skin’s signature shimmer.
