With Botox at KOI Wellbeing in San Diego, life’s beautiful moments leave a lasting impression on you, not your skin!
How Does Botox Work?
Botox, like Xeomin, is made of botulinum toxin Type A a naturally occurring protein that causes muscle paralysis. Through the injection of purified botulinum toxin into overactive facial muscles and areas with wrinkles, dynamic lines are smoothed out, and the muscles are relaxed, preventing further deepening of the wrinkles. This anti-aging effect helps maintain a rejuvenated and smooth appearance of the skin.
Furthermore, Botox offers versatility as it can also address muscle imbalances in the face. It can lift and even out eyebrows and reduce muscle activity in the jaw muscles, creating a slimmer look for the lower face.
When combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments like RF microneedling, Botox becomes an excellent addition, enhancing the youthfulness and radiance of the skin.
What Can Be Treated with Botox Injections?
Years of facial expressions can lead to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines in various areas of the face, requiring cosmetic procedures like botulinum toxin injections to minimize the appearance of facial wrinkles and aging.
