During the procedure, a trained medical professional will use a fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox into specific muscles in the face. The treatment is relatively quick and usually lasts 10 to 15 minutes. The effects of Botox are temporary and usually last three to six months, after which additional treatments are required to maintain the results.
Botox facial, also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A, is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It involves injecting small amounts of the toxin into specific facial muscles to block nerve signals and temporarily paralyze the muscles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
- Wrinkle and expression line reduction: Can effectively diminish the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by facial muscle contractions, such as forehead lines, frown lines (between the eyebrows) and crow’s feet.
- Prevention of new wrinkles: Regular use can help prevent the formation of new wrinkles by limiting repetitive muscle movements.
- Lifting and contouring: Can be strategically injected to lift specific facial areas and create a more defined, youthful contour.
- Treatment of certain medical conditions: Used for a variety of medical purposes, such as treatment of migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and muscle spasms.
