BOTOX is a renowned cosmetic treatment that effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. At Serotonin Centers, we offer BOTOX in St. Petersburg, FL, administered by skilled professionals to achieve natural-looking results and restore youthful vitality to your skin.
How Does BOTOX Work?
Dynamic wrinkles, such as crow's feet and frown lines, form as a result of repetitive muscle movements combined with aging and decreased collagen production. When you smile, frown, or squint, your facial muscles contract, causing the overlying skin to crease. Over time, these repeated contractions lead to the development of visible lines and wrinkles.
BOTOX works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. It contains a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which inhibits the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that triggers contractions. By preventing these contractions, BOTOX relaxes the targeted muscles, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out and soften. The result is a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and a more youthful complexion.
