BOTOX® Facial Injections

HOW IT WORKS
Botox® is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles resulting in a reduction of muscle activity. Botox® blocks the nerve signals that stimulate the muscles. After the injection, the muscle can no longer contract causing wrinkles to relax and soften. Patients may begin to notice a visible reduction of facial lines in 24 to 48 hours but it may take up to seven days to see the full result.COMMON INJECTION SITES
The repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years causes wrinkles to develop near the side of the eyes and are commonly known as “crow’s feet.” Wrinkles are also commonly found in the forehead between the eyes. These two areas are the most common treatment sites for Botox® injections. However, wrinkles in other areas of the face and neck may also be treated.IS BOTOX® SAFE?
