Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is injected into specific facial muscles to temporarily relax them, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements.
It blocks nerve signals, softening lines like crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles, offering a smoother and youthful appearance for about 3-4 months before needing retreatment.
Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyses muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles that cause lines and creases.
When administered by a qualified professional, Botox for fine lines and wrinkles is a safe procedure.
Visible improvements from Botox treatment usually begin within a few days, with optimal results visible within 1-2 weeks.
The effects of Botox typically last around 3-4 months. However, individual results can vary based on metabolism and other factors.
Mild bruising, redness, or temporary muscle weakness at the injection site may occur but usually resolve quickly.
Botox is commonly used to treat forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eyes), and frown lines (between eyebrows).
Generally, there’s no significant downtime after Botox treatments. Patients can resume normal activities immediately, though avoiding strenuous exercise is recommended for the first day or two.
