Botox
Botox injection is among the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures because of its unique effectiveness and safety in treating certain types of facial wrinkles. Botox is an excellent treatment for the vertical forehead creases that develop between the eyes, making you look sad or angry. Botox can also be used in treating horizontal forehead lines and the crow's feet area around your eyes. Botox injected in the lower face and neck muscle (platysma) may provide temporary improvement in some of the visible signs of aging in these areas. Botox works by blocking the transmission of impulses from the nerve cells to the muscle. This causes a temporary and harmless muscle weakening or paralysis, so the muscles that cause certain types of wrinkles become inactive. The result is the temporary elimination or reduction of those wrinkles. Botox injections usually can be performed in just minutes and with little or no discomfort. Most often, you will notice the effects of Botox within 48 to 72 hours after injection. On average, results last about 4 months. You can keep your results with periodic maintenance treatments.
