Botox is an extremely effective muscle relaxant. Botox inactivates the muscles that produce wrinkles, causing lines to disappear or diminish around the eyes and forehead that are caused by smiling, laughing, frowning, and squinting.
By carefully injecting small amounts of Botox into the over-active muscles, a temporary relaxation of the muscles that cause wrinkles is achieved. This procedure may require a topical anesthetic or an iced compress to numb the area before the actual injection.
Results are apparent within 24 - 72 hours and usually last 4 - 6 months.
Botox is a safe, nonsurgical procedure that creates a relaxed and natural look. |
