Cosmetic Botox
Botox is a brand of Botulinum Toxin that can be used to treat certain muscular conditions or to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles. It is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment, with more than 6 million Botox treatments administered each year. Botox is administered via injection directly into the neuromuscular tissue. It takes 24-72 hours for Botox to take effect and the effects usually last three to six months.
The most common use for Botox is to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the following areas:
- Forehead (worry lines)
- Between eyebrows (frown lines)
- Corners of eyes (crow’s feet)
- Outer eyebrow
- Chin crease
