Botox injection treatment is the quick, safe way to remove wrinkles and look better, younger and fresher for a long time. Botulinum toxin is a substance that blocks muscle contraction. It is used to remove or reduce facial wrinkles, especially frown lines, "crow's feet" and forehead lines, in the upper half of the face.
How is the procedure done?
The botulinum toxin injection procedure takes 10-15 minutes: the toxin is injected with a fine needle into the muscles to be relaxed, after an anesthetic cream is applied. The dermatologist will ask you to move your face – frown, raise your eyebrows, smile broadly – to assess the activity of the facial muscles and the dose of botulinum toxin needed. Then they will mark the injection points with a dermatographic pencil.
Advantages:
- Quick – the procedure takes about 10-15 minutes;
- Painless – a very fine needle is used, so the procedure is practically painless
- Immediate and long-lasting effect – you can return to your daily activities right after the treatment; the result starts to appear a few hours after the procedure, the final result can be admired after about 14 days, and it lasts around 6 months.
