Botox and Jeuveau
Botox and Jeuveau, Botulinum Toxin, is a popular cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Here's how it works:
​
1. **Muscle relaxation**: Botox/Jeuveau works by temporarily paralyzing or relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. When injected into specific facial muscles, it blocks the signals from the nerves to the muscles, preventing them from contracting as strongly. This relaxation of the muscles helps to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.
2. **Prevention of new wrinkles**: By preventing repetitive muscle contractions in the treated areas, Botox/Jeuveau can also help prevent the formation of new wrinkles and lines in those areas.
3. **Results**: The effects of Botox/Jeuveau typically start to become noticeable within a few days to a week after treatment, with full results appearing within 1-2 weeks. The results usually last for about 3-4 months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain the effects.
4. **Safety**: Botox/Jeuveau injections are generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare provider.
