What is Botox?
At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we provide natural results with Botox. Reduce wrinkles such as frown lines or crow's feet and treat medical complaints such as excessive sweating or teeth grinding.
What is Botox?
Botox, the brand name for botulinum toxin, is a product from the pharmaceutical company Allergan. This protein, produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, temporarily blocks nerve signals to the muscles. As a result, the muscles relax and wrinkles are softened. Botox is not only known in the cosmetic world, but is also used for medical conditions such as migraines and hyperhidrosis.
While there are alternatives such as Bocouture, Azzalure and Dysport, Botox is chosen by Clinic Doctor Frodo because of its proven reliability, consistent results, and decades of scientific research.
How does Botox work?
Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles. This relaxes the muscles and restricts movement in certain areas, giving the skin the chance to become smoother. It is particularly effective for dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements, such as frowning and laughing.
