What Is Botox?
Botox is the brand name for Botulinum Toxin Type A, a purified protein for both cosmetic and medical use. When injected in small, controlled doses, it temporarily blocks the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions. Since repeated muscle contractions are what cause expression lines — frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet — relaxing those muscles allows the skin above them to smooth out.
Botox is not a filler. It doesn’t add volume; it relaxes movement. This is why it works best on dynamic wrinkles (lines that appear when you move your face), rather than static wrinkles caused by lost skin elasticity.
Which Areas Can Botox Treat?
At Dermalase Clinic in Islamabad, Botox is used for both facial rejuvenation and functional concerns, including:
- Forehead lines – horizontal creases across the forehead
- Glabellar lines (frown lines) – the “11 lines” between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet – fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes
- Bunny lines – wrinkles on the nose bridge
- Gummy smile correction
- Jawline slimming (Masseter Botox) – for a wider jaw or teeth-grinding
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands (Nefertiti lift)
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) – underarms, palms, and soles
- Chronic migraines (medical Botox, when indicated)
What Are the Benefits of Botox?
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles within days
- Prevents new expression lines from deepening
- Non-surgical, with no incisions and virtually no downtime
