Botox is the brand name of a protein which temporarily blocks
impulses from nerves to the delicate facial muscles which
cause undesirable expression lines.
Tiny
injections to the muscles which cause forehead wrinkles,
scowling creases between the eyebrows, and crowsfeet deliver
the botox to its target . These dynamic wrinkles can be
temporarily ( 3 to 6 months per treatment) eliminated or
reduced. There is even a technique to lift the lateral eyebrow.
Although
slight bruising is a rare complication, most patients have
no recovery problems. After 3 days the botox starts working, the full effect is after 1 week,
leaving the skin smooth and soft, even when you smile.
