Anti-wrinkle injections, commonly using botulinum toxin, are cosmetic treatments that temporarily soften lines and wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscles. The toxin blocks nerve signals to the muscles, preventing contractions that cause wrinkles. Popular treatment areas include frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet - and can also be used to create a lip flip and lift eyelids.
The procedure takes no more than 10-15 minutes, with effects appearing within a week and lasting approximately 3 to 5 months. Repeat treatments are recommended three to four times per year.
How Does It Work?
Botox® temporarily relaxes the muscle responsible for wrinkles when injected directly into the muscles responsible for contraction.
