Botulinum - How does it actually work?

Botulinum or actually botulinum toxin type A is a neuromodulator and has been an integral part of aesthetic medicine since 1989.

Botulinum toxin inhibits the transmission of excitation from the nerve cells to the muscle, resulting in reduced muscle activity.

As the muscle is less stimulated, there is no longer a strong contraction in the overlying skin and the mimic wrinkles do not appear.

In addition, the pores and sebaceous glands also relax and ensure a cleaner complexion in the injected area. We also make use of this for the sweat glands in the anti-sweat treatment on the armpits, palms and feet.

With the high-quality neuromodulators, which are also used at HY STUDIO, residual mobility of the mimic muscles is retained in order to achieve a particularly natural result.

As is so often the case in aesthetic medicine, it is important that the practitioner is aware of the anatomy in order to prevent unwanted complications, such as restricting unwanted areas.

If you only want to try botulinum once, baby BTX is always an option. In this case, a smaller amount is injected in order to maintain even more residual mobility.

I will end this topic with the words of a true icon: Samantha Jones (Sex and the City, 1st movie): “Honey, you know me, I don’t really believe in marriage; now Botulinum on the other hand, that works every time.”
