What is Botox? Botulinum Toxin (often referred to as Botox®), is a neurotoxin which has been used in the UK for various medical purposes since 1989. Today, it is commonly used to treat lines and wrinkles on the face. How does Botox work? As we talk, smile and frown, our facial muscles are constantly working, and over time, wrinkles develop in the skin around these muscles. A small quantity of Botulinum Toxin is injected into the muscles that cause lines. This temporarily prevents nerve signals from reaching the muscle and, as a result, the muscle relaxes. As the muscle relaxes, the skin smoothes out. This reduces the appearance of existing wrinkles, as well as preventing further wrinkles from developing. Where can be treated? Botox is most frequently used to soften lines of expression such as crow's feet, frown lines and forehead lines. At Woodlands Medical, our practitioners are also able to use their skills and expertise to treat around the lower face, jawline and neck.
