Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Botox in the Management of Facial Wrinkles
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction Throughout the evolution of aging, fine lines, facial wrinkles and texture have been persistent concerns for women. Some research reveals that this concern is legitimate and related to self-image and age related discrimination. There are a number of different causes of these fine lines and facial wrinkle lines, such as aging, sun exposure gravity and chronic pulling of mimetic muscles and hyperactive muscles on the face. Among these, pulling by mimetic muscles on the skin not only involves facial expression but also has a great role in forming facial wrinkle lines as a result of repetitive action, such as dynamic or hyperkinetic wrinkle lines. Hyperkinetic/ dynamic/long term facial wrinkles seem to contribute to the cause of many undesired facial rhytides and furrow and to the development of soft tissue ptosis in many facial regions. This can occur naturally over time and is identified by certain biochemical, histological and physiological changes that are enhanced by environmental exposure.[1]
