What is botox?
Botox is an interesting medicine that's injectible, and it basically blocks the release of a muscle activating chemical, so it stops the activity or it reduces the activity of muscles. It has to be injected into muscles into the face, and we can use it in the neck if you know what you're doing. That can rejoice what we call those overactive muscles. Some of the most common sites for overactive muscles are the forehead muscles, the muscles around the eyes. We can pull the mouths down with overactive muscles here and give ourselves bounds on the neck with overactive muscles here. So by selecting sites for the injection of botox, the trained specialist can actually target those muscles, reduce the lines, and it has been shown with recent research to actually produce facial rejuvenation. So botox can be preventive, or it can be a partial preventive for facial aging.
