Botox vs. Nabota: The Right Way to Get Botox for Every Part of Your Face
When it comes to "anti-aging" and "wrinkle reduction", the first thing that comes to mind for many people is electrolysis and ultrasonic lifting - but the mechanism of action of these two technologies is actually completely different. Radio waves and ultrasonic main "lifting" and "firming", through the heating of the subcutaneous tissue to stimulate collagen newborn; and Botulinum Toxin (Botulinum Toxin) logic is very different: it acts directly on the neuromuscular junction, so that excessive contraction of the muscles to relax, and from the root cause of the reduction of dynamic wrinkles formation.
In other words, if your problem is "expression lines," "wide bite," or "sagging eyebrows," Botox is the solution - radio waves and ultrasound can't fix it.
💡 A common misconception: "Botox will make your face stiff" - this is usually a matter of the dosage and location of the injections, not a defect of Botox itself. If you choose the right brand and the right doctor, you can have a natural look and feel at the same time.
Depending on the part: your question, how does botulism resolve?
🔹 Upper face: forehead and eyebrows
This is the most "experienced" area of application of Botox. Horizontal forehead lines (horizontal lines) and vertical lines between the eyebrows (frown lines) are the result of prolonged muscle contraction. By precisely relaxing the forehead and frown muscles, the lines can be visibly faded within 7-14 days after application.
Special mention should be made of the "Brow Shaping" - through differential application, the position of the brow peaks can be slightly lifted or adjusted, changing the look of the eyes without going under the knife.
🔹 Around the eyes: crow's feet and fine lines under the eyes
Crow's feet are caused by repetitive contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle, especially when smiling. The dosage requirements for this area are extremely delicate - too much will affect the support of the lower eyelid, too little will not have a significant effect. The skin around the eyes is thin, so we recommend choosing a brand with a more controlled spread.
🔹 Lower Face: Bite & Neck Lines
One of the most popular applications in recent years is the bite muscle injection. For those who have a wide face with a prominent jawline, relaxing the biting muscle can significantly improve the proportions of the face and achieve the effect of a "painless melon-shaped face", and it usually takes 4-6 weeks to see the full effect.
Nefertiti Lift is an advanced application that is injected along the vastus lateralis muscle to slightly lift the lower face contour and improve turkey neck.
