How BOTOX® Helps Patients
BOTOX® is a medicine made from botulinum toxin. When injected into the muscles in your face, it blocks the chemical signals that cause them to contract. Since many wrinkles only form as a result of such contractions, temporarily paralyzing the muscles this way can go a long way towards reducing fine lines on the face. The effects typically last around three to four months, at which the treatment can be repeated. The procedure is considered very safe, and all reported side effects have been found to be temporary.
Candidates for BOTOX®
If you have moderate or severe facial wrinkles, you might want to start thinking about BOTOX®. The treatment tends to be more effective on dynamic wrinkles – as in, wrinkles that form as a result of muscle movement – so it’s typically recommended for fine lines that have formed around or between the eyes, on the forehead, or around the neck. We’ll need to confirm that you aren’t allergic to any ingredients in BOTOX® and that you don’t have any potentially complicating conditions.
