Enhance your appearance with BOTOX in Riverview, FL, a widely used cosmetic treatment that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Serotonin Centers offers this injectable to help smooth the skin and reduce visible signs of aging, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
How Does BOTOX Work?
Dynamic wrinkles, like those seen in frown lines or crow's feet, result from repetitive muscle movements and facial expressions over time. When you smile, frown, or squint, the muscles beneath the skin contract, causing the overlying skin to crease. With repeated contractions, these creases become more pronounced, eventually forming visible lines and wrinkles. BOTOX helps address these dynamic wrinkles by temporarily targeting the muscle contractions beneath the skin, rather than solely treating the surface.
Botulinum toxin type A, the active ingredient in BOTOX, blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for signaling muscle contractions. When injected into specific facial muscles, BOTOX temporarily inhibits their ability to contract, effectively relaxing the muscles and smoothing out the overlying skin. By interrupting the communication between nerves and muscles, BOTOX prevents the repetitive movements that lead to wrinkle formation, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance that can last for several months.
