Botox is an injection for facial wrinkles. It is one of the most effective treatments in the field of cosmetic surgery.
Very few treatments produce such impressive results with no healing time required.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a muscle weakener that is derived from bacteria that have been purified for use in humans.
Botox is used to treat:
1-"frown lines" which are sometimes called "scowl lines" or "worry lines". These are the lines seen between the eyes and on the bridge of the nose.
2-Botox injections are used for "crow's feet" wrinkles (wrinkles on the sides of the eyes) and forehead wrinkles.
3-Botox also can be used for the bands that develop underneath the chin and extend to the neck.
4-Botox is also used migraine headaches, bruxism (tooth grinding) and some facial pain syndromes.
The injections are performed in the office with an ultra fine needle and the number of injections required varies with the degree of wrinkling.
Many patients receive Botox injections on their lunch hour and return to work. Botox is truly a lunchtime procedure.
The effects of Botox begin between 24-72 hours and the effect lasts an average of 3 to 6 months. There is some evidence that after several repeated injections, the effects last longer.
Botox injections give the upper face a glow that can be great for the bride-to-be. Smiling without bunny lines or lines beside or under the eyes.
Here are some pictures to show the effects of botox:
