Loss of skin elasticity occurs naturally with aging as the result of reduced collagen and blood flow to the skin layers. Increased constriction of muscles can cause creases and wrinkles. Dynamic rhytids can be treated by relaxing muscles that are competing against an inferior muscle. Botox, Xeomin and Dysport are forms of botulinum toxin. They are considered as gold standard for facial rejuvenation addressing the common age-related problem of wrinkles like:
1.Crow feet
2.Frown lines
3.Gummy smiles
4.Smoker's lines

The drug is injected in tiny amounts to relax muscles chemically by blocking a substance (acetylcholine) necessary for muscle contraction. The procedure is often called lunch time procedure and there is no downtown associated with it.
When deciding on botulinum toxin injections , make sure
1.The botulinum toxin injection you are getting is legally obtained.
2.Be weary of low pricing. It is possible that the person injecting botox may not be qualified to be injecting, the botox may be over diluted (adding too much salt water) weakening the botox and causing it to not have the same efficacy, the botox may be expired beyond its shelf life or many other reasons which may compromise safety and quality.
Botox for Sweaty Armpits and palms
An FDA approved indication for treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis [sweaty underarms] can help people have better quality of life. Botox works by blocking the secretion of the chemical that activates sweat glands. During the procedure, doctors (typically dermatologists) inject around 50 units of Botox into each armpit. The more units injected, the longer the drying effects tend to last. Effects usually last for 5-6 months.
Botox to Treat Migraines
Another FDA approved indication of Botox is to treat chronic migraine headaches in adults.
Botox to treat chronic migraines is given at intervals of about 12 weeks as multiple injections around the head and neck.
How does Botox work for Migraines?
Botox works by blocking the release of certain brain chemicals including acetylcholine and by blocking the movement of certain nerves and muscles. It is not completely known how Botox reduces headache pain and stiffness. A potential reason might be that Botox blocks nerves that send pain messages to the brain and relaxes muscles so they are less sensitive to pain.
