Botox
About
Botox is a prescription drug that is used to temporarily paralyze muscle activity. Botox injections are the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedure available to patients.
Botox injections are used to primarily reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles by blocking the signals from your facial nerves to your facial muscles, preventing your facial muscles from contracting. This allows the wrinkles to soften and relax.
Botox injections are administered in a clinic setting and only take a few minutes and do not require any anesthesia. The results generally appear after a few days and can last anywhere from 3 to 12 months. You will need to have maintenance injections if you wish to continue with your Botox treatment after the first dose. There can be some temporary bruising at the injection site but beyond that. Side effects are rare but can include drooping eyelids, a crooked smile and drooping eyelids.
It is important to contact your physician as soon as possible if you starting experiencing vision problems, trouble swallowing or speaking, muscle weakness, breathing difficulties or bladder control.
If Botox is administered improperly it can be dangerous, so choosing a experienced, certified doctor is very important.
