Botox is a cosmetic treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles in the face to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The procedure involves injecting a purified protein derived from the botulinum toxin into targeted muscles. This blocks nerve signals, preventing muscle contractions that cause wrinkles and fine lines. Botox is commonly used to treat areas such as the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows (also known as glabellar lines), and crow’s feet around the eyes. It takes only 10-20 minutes for the treatment to be completed, and it is minimally invasive.
Botox is ideal for individuals looking to smooth dynamic wrinkles and achieve a more youthful appearance without surgery. The treatment is suitable for most adults who want to address signs of aging or prevent wrinkles from forming. Results typically appear within 3 to 7 days after treatment, with full effects visible in about two weeks. The effects of Botox last approximately 3 to 4 months, with maintenance sessions recommended to maintain results.
