What is Botox?
Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, operates by intercepting nerve signals to muscles. Ordinarily, a nerve's signal triggers muscle contractions. However, when Botox is introduced into a specific muscle, it halts the release of acetylcholine, a crucial chemical for muscle contraction.
This interruption leads to temporary muscle relaxation or paralysis. As the muscle stays in this relaxed state, it might reduce in size due to decreased activity. Essentially, the muscle fibers become less active and could decrease in mass over time.
Among the commonly available Botulinum toxin types—Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Daxxify—variations in formulation significantly influence dosages, product spread, and the duration of results. The selection among these relies on the specific treatment areas, desired outcomes, and the advice of a professional.
Target Areas
Botox can slim the body areas below:
​
Masseter Muscle: Chewing gum or tough foods can cause masseter muscle overgrowth, leading to a square face. Botox injections intercept contraction signals, relieving grinding/clenching and refining the jawline.
Thick Shoulders: The Trapezius muscle, spanning neck to mid-back, aids movement and posture. The "Collarbone Injection" (Botox) in South Korea shapes shoulders and neck, easing stiffness/pain and enhancing appearance.
Wide or Ptotic Nose: Botox injections can lift the nasal tip, reduce nostril flaring, and smooth out lines around the nose area, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty.
Other Usages of Botox
Gummy Smile
To diminish the overly active muscles lifting the upper lip during a smile, Botox can help lessening the lift of the lip and consequently mitigating the exposure of gums while smiling.
Hyperhidrosis
Through administration of Botox into specific sweat glands, it effectively interrupts the release of the chemical trigger responsible for activating sweat glands.
​
Bruxism
Botox in the jaw muscles interrupts nerve signals, bringing temporary relaxation. This relieves TMJ pain, discomfort, and muscle spasms.
