What Does Face Botox Do?
Face botulinum toxin is commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It is also used in medical treatments for excessive sweating, teeth grinding, and migraines. When injected into the skin, botulinum toxin temporarily eliminates wrinkles and lines by blocking the movement of muscles in the targeted area.
Which Areas of the Face Are Treated with Face Botox?
- Between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines
- Around the eyes (Crow’s feet)
- Nasal lines (Bunny lines)
- Above the lips (Barcode lines)
How Face Botox Is Done?
Botulinum toxin blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, preventing wrinkles caused by muscle movements. The botulinum toxin injected into the skin relaxes the muscles and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Face botulinum toxin is not a filler; it only relaxes the muscles causing the wrinkles. A small amount of discomfort may be felt during the procedure, which typically takes only a few minutes. The effects of botulinum toxin begin within 3 days and fully settle within 14 days. The results typically last for 4-5 months.
Post-Botulinum Toxin Care Tips:
- Remain in an upright position for 2 hours after the procedure
- Do not apply pressure or massage the injection sites
- Avoid hot showers
- Avoid physical activities or exercise
- Avoid sleeping on the injection sites on the night of the procedure
