Recently, the most common way to fight wrinkles is Botox injections. However, the American expert in dermatology claims that this method of getting rid of wrinkles leads to their further formation later.

Botox is a drug made from a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is injected under the skin, in order to temporarily relax the muscles of the face, smooth lines and wrinkles. The result can last from three to six months.

Dr. David Becker of the New York Medical Center believes that muscle groups in which botox is not introduced will still find a way to contract, which will lead to the formation of even more wrinkles and wrinkles.

Paralysis of the muscle group can lead to the activation of other muscle groups in an attempt to compensate for the conditioned activity that was blocked with toxin. It ends with still more pronounced muscular activity in neighboring regions with blocked ones, explained Dr. Becker. As a result, more wrinkles become, and existing ones can become deeper. The study was published in a recent issue of The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.
