Botox is an injectable muscle relaxer that uses botulinum toxin type A, specifically OnabotulinumtoxinA, to temporarily relax the muscle thus helping to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. This treatment is minimally invasive and is considered a safe and effective treatment procedure for fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
The procedure involved to do a Botox treatment is quite simple. A very tiny needle is used to inject the Botox into the wrinkle-producing muscles. No anesthesia is required and the injections usually take only 10 to 15 minutes. There is no recovery time or down time though you may see some temporary redness or bruising at the injection site. On average, it takes three to five days to start to see an effect and up to 3 weeks to see the maximum results from Botox. Results usually last about three to six months.
Choosing the right practitioner is crucial. You may find luring deals that offer wrinkle injections at very cheap rates or less, but we would urge those seeking treatment not to fall into this trap. It is possibly an untrained practitioner who is performing these treatments, or they are not using the products which they advertise.
