The Science of Wrinkles
To appreciate why Botox is such a good wrinkle treatment, it helps understand the physiology of wrinkles. There are two types of wrinkles, static and dynamic. Static wrinkles result from a breakdown of collagen Due to aging or environmental factors such as smoking or sun exposure.
Examples of static wrinkles include fine vertical lines above the lip (also known as smoker lines,) nasal labial folds (also known as smile lines or marionette lines,) and other fine lines that age the lower portion of the face. The best wrinkle treatment for static wrinkles is Dermal fillers, like Juvéderm or Restylane.
Dynamic wrinkles, also known as expression lines, result from Repeated facial movements. Take scowling, for example. Every time we squint our eyes and furrow our brows, underlying muscles follow the same mechanical path. Years of these repeated muscle movements create grooves in the underlying tissue. These grooves in the facial muscles cause overlying skin to become creased.
Dynamic wrinkles are most prominent in the portion of the face that displays the most expression. This includes the areas around the eyes, brow, and forehead. This makes Botox an ideal wrinkle treatment for crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and brow lines.
How Does Botox Work to Reduce Wrinkles?
So, what is Botox? Botox is a synthetic protein derived from botulism toxin. This safe, biodegradable substance acts as a neuromodulator. When injected below the skin, Botox Relaxes muscles by blocking signals from the brain that tell the muscle to contract. This allows the muscle to lengthen and smooth out below the skin. As a result, the overlying skin Is allowed to smooth out. This dramatically reduces the appearance of expression lines.
