Botulinum Facial Rejuvenation
Botulinum facial rejuvenation, popularly known as Botox treatment, is an anti-ageing treatment. Botulinum neurotoxin injected temporarily reduces the visual effects of lines and wrinkles on the face. Frown lines, forehead creases, and crow's feet near the eyes are the most commonly treated regions. Several other body parts have also been treated with the help of botulinum injection like the bands in the neck, thick jaw muscles, lower lip lines, and gummy smiles.
Is Botox A toxin?
Before understanding the process of Botulinum facial rejuvenation, you must know the origin of the chemical that is injected. Botulinum is a neurotoxin secreted by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It paralyzes nerve tissue. This piece of information scared you? Don’t worry, you are not injected with raw botulinum. Scientists and chemists purify the toxin and manufacture it in a chemical form for use in Botox treatments.
How Does Botulinum Facial Rejuvenation Help?
The purified toxin is such that it is no longer fatal. But it retains some degree of its ability to paralyze nerve cells. So, when it is injected into your face, the nerves of the drooping muscles are paralyzed. Hence, the muscles that were earlier sagging to cause wrinkles and crowfeet on your face, are now paralyzed and remain firm. Don’t worry. Your facial expressions are restored.

Your face may look slightly uneven immediately after the treatment, or within 3-7 days. But it will settle down soon after that. You don’t need to worry.
Chances are:
- The dose of toxin injected was not sufficient
