Why do the effects of wrinkle Botox and muscle Botox differ? An explanation of the mechanism of action of Botox.

There is so much to talk about Botox
that I will try to divide it into various sections.
[Table of Contents - the contents may change continuously!]

Summary of the effects of Botox
2.1 Botox that acts on the muscles
2.2 Botox that acts on the dermis
Today, I am going to talk about the effects of Botox
which can be divided into two major categories.
Muscle-paralyzing Botox that stops muscle movement
Muscle-reducing Botox that decreases muscle size

These two are not absolutely different
Even if the same Botox is used,
the effects we get are different.
(*Occasionally there may be overlapping cases, for example: Glabellar Botox - I will explain more later!)
First,
Botox is initially used for conditions like cerebral palsy that manifest as muscle rigidity !!
effectively used to treat those diseases.

Ultimately, the most important thing to note is that it prevents muscle contraction.

When there is no contraction,
it brings two types of effects.
1. Muscle-paralyzing Botox that stops muscle movement
Temporary muscle paralysis due to Botox
does not occur immediately
it shows effects from the third day and almost all effects are seen by the seventh day!

The reason for facial wrinkles is
to put it simply,
it's because they move!
The more intensely this area moves, the deeper the wrinkles become.
That's why men have deeper wrinkles.

Just by stopping the movement of these muscles,
the wrinkles that are strongly formed
can be weakened..
Thus, the effects appear quickly!
Muscle-reducing Botox that decreases muscle size
The most important concept here is
when you are lying down or have an injury and are in a cast
have you ever seen your calves get thinner from disuse?
It's a very important concept that if you don't use it, it won't get smaller.
The use of Botox in this respect includes
Jaw Botox
Temple Botox
Jawline Botox
Trapezius
Calf
Upper arm

They exist like this
and as you can see in the pictures, after 2 weeks to a month
you can see the size reduction.

If you think there are parts of your body and face
that are too large,
try touching them,,,,?
If it's muscle, it can be reduced easily,
if it's fat, it can be reduced,
but reducing bone is difficult.
Thank you~!
