All about BOTOX injections

You can fight the signs of aging with BOTOX injections. Not only can they reduce the appearance of wrinkles on your face, but they can also prevent new ones from forming.

The most common areas of the face to administer BOTOX include:

• Forehead wrinkles: Smooth away the horizontal creases in your forehead and help prevent new ones from forming.
• Crow’s feet: Often called laugh lines, Crow’s feet are the fine lines that develop at the corners of the eyes when you laugh or smile. BOTOX injections can help relax the lines and make them less noticeable.
• Frown lines: The number 11 lines between your eyebrows often develop from frowning or whenever you furrow your brow. BOTOX can reduce the appearance of these lines.
• Marionette or nasolabial lines: The lines develop at the corners of your mouth. Your mouth might droop. BOTOX is often used to ease the lines.

What is BOTOX?

BOTOX is formulated from type A botulinum toxin that has undergone a purification process. The cosmetic injectable reduces the frequent movements of the facial muscles near the injection site. The wrinkles develop from the muscle contractions that crease the skin and cause what is referred to as dynamic wrinkles. The repetitive movement of the muscles can deepen lines on the face. However, BOTOX reduces muscle movement to help smooth away the lines. Plus, the injectable helps prevent new wrinkles from forming.

BOTOX injections take only minutes to administer. Most patients report feeling only a slight pin prick at the time of injection. You might notice slight redness or possible swelling, but the marks quickly start to fade away. You should avoid rubbing your face following the BOTOX injections for at least the first day, so you don’t accidentally spread the formulation.
