Thinking about Botox? Some Facts You Should be Aware Of

Thinking about getting some injections of  Botox? You might want to review these facts before moving forward.

BOTOX has been used for a good number of years and by thousands of people to achieve a more youthful appearance. It’s a form of Botulinum toxin that is purified and diluted for cosmetic purposes, and it acts by temporarily paralyzing certain facial nerves such as those that allow you to frown.

Paralyzing these nerves prevents the muscles they control from contracting, which in turn  can prevent new wrinkles and fine lines from forming and help reduce the appearance of pre-existing lines and wrinkles. This results in a younger, more relaxed facial appearance.

BOTOX injections, while not exceedingly costly, must be repeated at four-to-six month intervals in order for the effects to continue.   Treatments can last anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area that needs to be treated; however, most patients can resume their normal activities immediately following BOTOX injection treatment.
