Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, is a purified protein toxin that blocks nerve impulses. Botox is injected into the muscles of the face to relax them and prevent frown lines from forming. It also may be used to treat crow’s feet, forehead lines, or frown lines between the eyebrows. Fillers are injectable substances that are placed in the skin for cosmetic purposes. Dermal fillers can be used to reshape facial features, including cheeks, lips, eyelids, and nose. They also reduce wrinkles and folds around the eyes or mouth. Botox and fillers Coral Gables can be used to treat the following:

What’s the use of Botox and fillers?

Treat frown lines

Frown lines are caused by constant frowning, making them appear deeper than they are. Botox may be injected into the muscles that cause these frown lines to relax, which can help minimize their appearance. Fillers can also be used to help reduce frown lines and make you look younger.

Help you look younger

Botox and fillers can help you look younger by smoothing out areas of your face where you may have deep furrows or creases that cause frown lines or other wrinkles around your mouth. Your doctor will recommend the right amount for you to achieve the desired results.

Improve skin elasticity

Botox treatments can help improve the elasticity of the skin. It achieves that by relaxing muscle fibers that cause wrinkles and sagging of the skin on your forehead, between your brows and around your eyes (crow’s feet), on your cheeks and lips, as well as on other parts of your face including the chin area.

Improve the appearance of hair loss

Botox is often used to treat balding in men, but it can also be used on certain areas of the scalp where thinning occurs due to hair loss or recession (the gradual thinning of hair follicles over time). This treatment will improve both the thickness and color of hair and prevent further hair loss by increasing blood circulation in areas affected by thinning or recession.

Help treat chin dimpling

Chin dimpling is a condition that makes the skin around your chin thinner than normal, causing it to sag. This can make you look older than your years and make you self-conscious about your appearance.

Botox and fillers effectively treat this condition because they reduce the appearance of sagging skin by relaxing facial muscles. They also help prevent muscle contraction, which causes sagging skin to sag even more.

Prevent hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes excessive sweating in the armpits, palms, and soles. Sweating can cause embarrassing moments, such as nervousness or discomfort in your body. Botox and fillers treat hyperhidrosis by blocking nerves that cause excessive sweating.

Botox is a neurotoxin that is injected into facial muscles to paralyze them. After a short while, the muscles relax, and the face will appear to have settled. A filler is a material injected into facial tissues to plump them up and smooth them out. It is used on patients with sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds (the lines between the nose and mouth), and other areas of aging skin. Filler can also be used to correct minor skin irregularities, such as acne scars. To learn more about Botox and fillers, contact Martha Viera Dermatology experts.
