Botox doesn't work? Does that really happen? Yes, and this once again confirms that natural rejuvenation methods not only delicately care for our beauty but sometimes are the only way to look younger. I'm talking about three reasons for forehead wrinkles that injections are powerless against. Reason 1: Chronic Edema The lymphatic system, including lymph, vessels, and nodes, helps clear tissues of debris. It can be likened to the sewage system of our body. Poor posture, changes in body position, or muscle spasms can compress lymphatic vessels, causing lymph to remain in tissues, leading to what we see as swelling. Fluid stagnation impairs skin nutrition, reduces collagen and elastin production, resulting in sagging and wrinkling. Additionally, stagnant fluid can create a lumpy appearance. Botox locally relaxes muscles but does not affect normal lymphatic drainage. Therefore, it's unlikely to have a significant effect.
Reason 2: Shortening of the back of the neck If you have a sedentary job, especially at a computer, or if you're accustomed to hunching over your phone, your neck gradually protrudes forward, and your head tilts slightly upward. This leads to shortening of the back of the neck. When the back of the neck shortens, the skin has nowhere to go and creeps upwards: over the occiput and the hairy part of the head towards the forehead, forming folds. Botox won't help with this.
Reason 3: Alteration of the posterior superficial chain Individual muscles in our body are covered and connected by a thin transparent film called fascia. Myofascial chains are formed, one of which is called the posterior superficial chain. It starts from the feet, runs along the entire back of the body, extends to the head, and ends at the eyebrow line. Changes in one section of the myofascial chain are transmitted to the others. Therefore, wrinkles on the forehead can appear even due to flat feet. It's interesting to think how much Botox would need to be injected into the whole body to get rid of wrinkles in this case. Remember, beautiful appearance isn't just about topical solutions but also understanding our body's mechanics. 💡 #yegbeauty #yegfacelift #yegmassage #yegbotox
