Botox (botulinum toxin) treatment has become so popular that there is probably no one who has heard of it. Its effectiveness and safety have been proven, and its uses are increasing.
Botulinum toxin basically works by weakening muscles and inhibition of sweat gland function. When muscles are weakened, muscle volume decreases (improving the lines of the chin and thighs) and wrinkles are improved. When sweat glands are inhibited, sweat secretion decreases, so it is used to treat hyperhidrosis.
A method in which botulinum toxin is not injected into the muscles, but is thinly injected into the skin (intradermal) at intervals of 1 to 2 cm is called skin botox (dermotoxin).
