→ It can lead to experiences like “My eyes feel stuffy…”

 

How Botox Works (And Why Are There Limitations?)

Botox is Blocking nerve signals that move muscles do.

• The “move” signal from the brain to the muscles In the middle block As it becomes Less muscle contraction → less skin folds

So the key role of Botox is not to 'fill in the existing wrinkles', but to 'reduce the folding action and prevent them from getting deeper'.

 

There are two main types of wrinkles.

✔️ Expression wrinkles
