The biochemical mechanism of botulinum
toxin to be used in blocking the referred
muscle contraction can be used in temporarily
generating the regional shrinkage from
muscle wasting as well. It thereby decreases
the volume of muscle, results in an
optimal outcome of regional muscle tightness
and creates a visual tighter and thinner
effect on the injected parts.
At present, there are more and more
superficial parts of appearance can
receive botulinum toxin (BOTOX) injections
and achieve satisfactory results as
well. It could reduce the square face
if botulinum toxin is injected into
the masticatory muscle. Boulinum toxin
is injected into the gastrocnemius
muscle to reshape the raddish-like
leg, injected into the elevator muscle
of the upper lip to remedy against
the gum exposure or injected into
the frontal muscle to elevate the
eyebrows as well as adjust the distance
between the double eyelids, or control
the micro adjustment of various facial
expressions, etc.
