What is Botox?
Botox is a neuromodulator that can be injected into a muscle to temporarily prevent muscle contraction. This results in the muscle relaxing to smooth wrinkles. Botox is approved by Health Canada and the FDA for cosmetic and medical uses.
What is a Neuromodulator?
A neuromodulator is a tiny protein that works by interrupting nerve signals before they reach the muscle, allowing the treated muscles to relax. This muscle relaxation results in the smoothing of your lines and wrinkles and may also help to prevent those same lines and wrinkles from deepening. In our youth, our skin produces an abundance of collagen and elastin that helps your face snap back into place after making facial expressions. However, these vital proteins start to deplete as early as our twenties, resulting in the formation of fine lines and eventually wrinkles.
Dysport, Botox and Xeomin, are brands of neuromodulators which all contain a purified form of the Botulinum toxin type A, but they have slightly different formulations.
Why We Choose Botox?
Although all brands of neuromodulators are similar, there are a few subtle differences that make Botox our favourite choice.
