What does Botox do to your wrinkles?

Image
  Botox injection is a widely known treatment for wrinkles. It is famous for its unique ability to relax frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead. One important thing to note is that Botox doesn’t completely erase wrinkles, but relaxes muscles to make them less visible.  Botox relaxes the facial muscles by causing limited activity to the wrinkled areas.  If you have a habit of making frowns and these habits are unintended, you can get a Botox injection to prevent the wrinkles from appearing. The treatment itself is relatively simple. The patients are applied topical anesthetic before the treatment. Moreover, we usually apply ice for the control of the pain. Then the Botox injection is administered to the desired areas.  We recommend not to do strenuous activity for 1 week after the treatment. The results will be evident within 1-2 weeks after the treatment.  More about Botox
