What Is Botox?

Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by relaxing specific facial muscles that cause expression lines, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. At Kairon Polyclinic in Dubai, Botox is part of our holistic aesthetic offering—supporting your skin’s longevity and preserving your natural beauty.

 

How Does Botox Work?

Botox uses a purified protein called botulinum toxin type A. When injected in small amounts into targeted muscles, it temporarily blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This relaxation of the muscle allows the overlying skin to smooth out, visibly reducing wrinkles and preventing deeper lines from forming. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and requires no downtime—making it a popular lunchtime treatment for those with busy lifestyles.

Who Needs Botox?

Botox is ideal for adults who:

  • Want to soften facial wrinkles caused by muscle movement.
  • Are starting to notice fine lines in the forehead, eye, or brow area
  • Wish to prevent the deepening of dynamic lines (expression lines)
  • Experience conditions like excessive sweating or tension headaches (therapeutic uses)
  • Prefer a non-surgical, subtle enhancement to maintain a fresh, youthful look

What Causes Wrinkles Treated by Botox?

Dynamic wrinkles—the kind treated by Botox—are caused by repetitive muscle movement over time. Smiling, squinting, frowning, or raising your eyebrows gradually etch lines into the skin. As collagen and elastin levels decrease with age, these lines become more prominent and stay even when the face is at rest. Botox targets the root cause—muscle activity—offering a solution that slows down the visible signs of aging.

It’s suitable for both men and women, and can be part of a preventive anti-aging plan starting in your late 20s or early 30s
