Everybody knows about Botox (Botulinum toxin type A), it is a prevalent cosmetic treatment that is usually done on the face to reduce fissures
and wrinkles. Here’s a brief overview:
How it works
:
Botox is injected directly into the muscles in question, halting contractions and limiting the extent to which they can be consciously manipulated.
This weakens the muscles that produce lines and wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles by reducing muscle activity,
that can be particularly beneficial for wrinkle-type wrinkles.
Procedure
:
The process takes only 10-15 minutes normally.
Tiny amounts of Botox are injected into specific muscles by a fine needle.
Discomfort will range from mild to insignificant, generally transient.
Results
:
Onset typically 2–5 days, with full effects in 1–2 weeks.
The effects of the Botox treatment will wear off in about 3-4 months and can be repeated then.
