As we reach a certain age, we notice that fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear around the eyes, nose, and lips, and over time the lines deepen and the wrinkles begin to multiply. In addition to aging, wrinkles appear on the skin due to sun exposure, smoking and many other reasons. We use our facial muscles to frown, squint, smile, or concentrate, and the appearance of these wrinkles from muscle activity isn’t just for older people, it’s also common in young adults.

Botox is an effective cosmetic treatment for wrinkles caused by muscle activity. It is mainly used on the horizontal lines of the forehead, the vertical lines between the eyebrows, and the horizontal lines at the outer corners of the eyes, which are known as crow’s feet.

Botox injections are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a less expensive, non-invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery. It’s demoralizing when we start to notice our makeup starting to settle into the creases of our face, and we see crow’s feet and frown lines deepen, as it can make us look tired, but Botox can help us look younger and rested.

Botox injections are most effective on:

* Deep lines between the eyes

* Lines and creases on the forehead

* forehead lines

* Crow’s feet around the eyes

* Smoker’s lines around the mouth

Before undergoing any Botox treatment, the doctor will look at your face and make a decision on exactly where to inject the Botox for the best results. Botox treatment can completely stop all movement in the forehead so that wrinkles do not appear. However, by using less product, a more subtle effect can be easily achieved, which will retain some movement in the forehead while minimizing wrinkles. Botox blocks nerve impulses to the small muscles of the face, reducing facial muscle contractions that cause fine lines and wrinkles. The application of a topical numbing cream will minimize any discomfort during your treatment.

The effects of your Botox treatment will last between three and six months, during which time the Botox will naturally disperse in the body. Those who use Botox regularly will generally find that the effects last longer than new users.

Aging can get everyone down and can affect your self-confidence. After Botox treatment, your face will continue to look the same, the injections simply smooth out wrinkles and lines in the treated areas. Botox can improve your confidence and improve your mood, giving you a younger, fresher face and skin that looks healthier and rejuvenated.
