Opened-pores and its treatments
B*TOX normally targets the muscles of facial expression. In the instance with Intradermal-B*TOX, it is not injected into the muscles of facial expression but on the fine muscles in the skin that control pore size – the erector pili. These muscles are the ones that make your hair stand on ends or cause goose bumps. The effect of B*TOX injected in this manner closes the skin’s pores. This makes the skin look more refined and “matte”.
Finishing touch to already good skin
Coinciding with the popularity of Mesotherapy, its techniques have also been used with B*TOX in skin rejuvenation. The idea was first suggested by doctors who gave diluted doses of B*TOX in multiple epidermal blebs. Much like they would do with Mesotherapy drugs. They claimed that B*TOX injected in this manner had skin rejuvenation and lifting effects that far surpassed results previously observed with conventional B*TOX Cosmetic.
The medical profession looked skeptically at meso-B*TOX and initially attributed this to the multiple punctures causing a certain degree of healing injury and hence more collagen regeneration. “Meso-anything” is still viewed by many to be highly suspicious of its claims. Skeptics were proven wrong in this particular instance with Meso-B*TOX. It is one of the more well known off-label indications for B*tox.. The name has also been changed to Micro-B*TOX or Intradermal B*TOX in order to dissociate it from “meso-anything.”
How does it work
Intradermal B*TOX is now known to deliver its main benefit from blocking the muscle activity of smooth muscle fibers around pores. Smaller pores means smaller skin surface area and hence a lifting effect when skin is stretched over the face.
Within the skin, Intradermal-B*TOX suppresses oil production and is an inhibitor of inflammation cased by acne. Intradermal B*TOX gives previously greasy and acne-prone skin a chance to heal in the 3-4 months without acne such that there is less PIH and uneven tones. Skin actually heals with Intradermal B*TOX.
