As we mature, wrinkle lines can start to appear around the forehead, creating frown lines between the eyebrows that can make us look overly serious or angry. These signs of aging can be easily treated with botox injections. This is a quick cosmetic treatment, where results start to show after a few days and gradually improve within two weeks.

Botox injections will temporarily weaken the muscles that help create your facial expressions, and decreasing this muscle activity will not only smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, but also affect the expressions you use on your face. It is a temporary treatment that lasts around 4 months and you will need periodic complementary injections to maintain the results.

The benefits of botox:

• Speed – Botox is administered by the doctor, usually in about 10-20 minutes and the results can be noticed immediately after the treatment, but it will take a couple of days to settle and improve.
• Minimally invasive – Botox injections are less invasive than other anti-aging treatments such as browlifts or facelifts.
• The price – For many clients, the cost of botox is more attractive than other cosmetic or plastic surgery treatments that can cost significantly more.
• Minimal side effects – Like any cosmetic or medical procedure, there are side effects associated with botox; such as redness, itching, or bruising, but these occur very occasionally and are temporary.

Botox is an ideal treatment for those who want subtle, non-surgical anti-aging treatments. A topical aesthetic is applied to the skin to ensure that the procedure is as comfortable as possible. Then, Botox is administered to specific targeted areas, reducing lines and stopping more wrinkles early on.

So where should you get your botox?

With any injectable cosmetic treatment, it is recommended that your procedure be performed by healthcare professionals, such as doctors, dentists or nurses, who have received proper training and use safe and reliable products. Before undergoing any treatment, you should research and check the place where the botox procedure will be performed, be it online, on internet forums, or by word of mouth.

Botox results should look subtle, and a fully trained physician will carefully administer technically accurate injections to give you a fresh, healthy appearance, and not a shocked, blank look. This results in a naturally plump and healthy face, free from wrinkles. The effects after a botox treatment are not completely immediate, it starts working within a few days, with the greatest effect seen around two weeks later.
