How do botulinum toxin injections work?
Botulinum toxin blocks nerve signals sent to muscles. The area of the body, or rather the muscle where the botulinum was injected, cannot contract, so the wrinkles relax and soften. Botulinum usually smoothes the facial wrinkles: laughter, anger, as well as vertical and transverse wrinkles that often appear on the forehead. In the treatment of increased and uncomfortable sweating, botulinum is injected into the palms, soles or armpits. Procedures that reduce sweating are effective because sweating is reduced by about 8 times.
What is the procedure?
During the consultation, the doctor assesses the condition of the skin and prepares the skin for the procedure. Botulinum is injected into the problem area with a very thin needle.
