Botulinum toxin is a purified protein and a medical prescription product that has been proven to be safe.
It paralyses the communication between the nerves in the muscle and the brain. Just like any muscle in the body, if it is not used on a daily basis it will weaken and atrophy. This will affect only the muscle where botulinum toxin was injected and not your whole face Your lines will soften and and eventually disappear.
A botulinum toxin injection is quick and simple. It has been described as feeling like a mosquito bite and you will leave with what will look as little red bee stings which will settle down quickly. No anaesthetic is required for the treatment.
It is used most commonly to treat unwanted wrinkles caused by repetitive movement, including frown lines, forehead lines, bunny lines and crow’s feet.
An experienced injector will know how many Botox units to inject so that you will look natural and not “frozen”. The desired result is for Botox injections to leave you looking natural
If you decide to stop having Botox injections your muscles will lose the muscle-relaxing effect and simply go back to the way they functioned before treatment. Once the muscles are fully active, wrinkles and lines will gradually return.
Most common areas where botulinum toxin injections are:
Frown lines, Forehead lines, crows feet, lift eyebrows.
Less commonly but very successfully administered for:
Excessive sweating and teeth clenching.
