There are two types of wrinkles: static and dynamic. Static wrinkles are a result of diminished collagen in the skin, which occurs due to age. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repeated facial expressions. Botox helps treat dynamic wrinkles by targeting the muscles beneath the skin.
When you frown, smile, or move your brows, your facial muscles work to move the skin on top of them. Over time, these repetitive contractions slowly form lines on your face. Stopping these contractions is the key to smoothing facial wrinkles, and Botox’s formula does just that.
Once injected into the target muscles, Botox disrupts the nerves that cause your muscles to contract. This effectively halts the movement of your muscles and makes it harder for these stubborn lines to form. This is why many clients seek out Botox in Pinecrest proactively, stopping dynamic wrinkles before they start.
