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.
