Botox Injection

Botox is a safe form of botulinum toxin type A. It is used in small, controlled amounts for beauty and health reasons. When a trained professional administers Botox, they consider it safe and effective.

Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles, which causes the muscles to relax. The skin on top looks smoother. This helps reduce the look of dynamic wrinkles like frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.

After the injection, muscle relaxation usually starts in a few days. You can often see improvement in 5 to 7 days. Full results typically appear in about two weeks.

Benefits of Botox and Dermal Filler Treatments

• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Helps prevent deepening of expression-related wrinkles over time
• Creates a smoother, more refreshed facial appearance
• Can soften habitual facial expressions that contribute to wrinkles

With regular treatments, muscles may become less active, which can slow the progression of wrinkle formation. However, it is important to note that Botox does not permanently stop aging, and results are temporary.

If someone discontinues treatments, muscle activity gradually returns to normal.
