What is Botox®?
Botox® is one of the most well-known brands when it comes to cosmetic treatment. This cosmetic product is produced by Allergan Aesthetics and it is approved for use in nearly 100 countries, including the United States.
While Botox® has other applications, it finds its popularity as a cosmetic treatment used to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines around the face.
How does Botox® work?
Botox® activity focuses on this specific cause of these wrinkles and lines by targeting the muscles under the skin on the face. By reducing how active these muscles are and how much they move, these wrinkles and lines begin to smooth out following the treatment.
The Benefits of
Using Botox®
Smooths out fine and deep wrinkles that appear on the forehead, due to the motion of raising the eyebrows
Smooths out crow’s feet, which are the lines on the outer edges of the eyes, gotten from smiling expressions
Improves the look of frown lines, situated between the eyebrows, typically seen when frowning and similar expressions
Improves bunny lines – the vertical lines that run on the bridge of the nose – usually seen when smiling or laughing
The treatment procedure with Botox® involves minimal discomfort and has a rapid recovery period. This makes it quite convenient for those who have reservations about undergoing it.
What to expect from
the Botox® procedure?
The treatment involves injecting Botox® Cosmetic beneath the skin in the appropriate locations of the face. Although only minimally uncomfortable, some patients may opt for numbing the skin with ice or creams. The entire process will usually take less than 20 minutes.
