Botulinum Toxin Injections
Botulinum Toxin (Botox®) contains a specially prepared naturally occurring protein that originates from bacteria. A minute quantity of botox is injected into the muscles that cause dynamic lines, for example frown lines.
The botox injection temporarily prevents nerve signals from reaching the muscle and, as a result, the muscle relaxes. As the muscle relaxes the skin smoothes out. The botox treatment does not take very long to do and most people return to most normal activities immediately afterwards. Always follow post treatment instructions following your botox treatments. Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment for moderate to severe frown lines.
It is typically used in people aged 18 to 65. Botox works by blocking nerve transmission to temporarily reduce the contractions of the facial muscles that cause frown lines. It has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for wrinkles, and botox injections are becoming increasingly popular. You should notice an improvement in your frown lines within 3 to 7 days, the effects of which can last up to 4 months. However, results may vary.
