Botox Treatments
Collagen is what makes your skin look youthful. Once you turn 20 years old, your body produces 1% less collagen each year. After enough time goes by, your skin gets thin and fragile, this susceptible to the degenerating outside influences that create wrinkles on the surface. 6,134,621 people got Botox in 2012, which is a 680% increase since 2000. The difference between younger and older skin can be seen in the epidermis, which is the outer most layer of the skin. The dermis with collagen fibers can be stimulated through Botox to produce younger looking skin.
