BOTOX injections can be used on the forehead area and around the eyes to paralyze the muscle, which will diminish existing lines while in effect. BOTOX® is the brand name of botulism toxin A. This is a chemical that temporarily paralyzes muscle to give this visible effect. The doses used in both cosmetic and medical treatments are less than several thousandths necessary to be dangerous. BOTOX is a wonderful treatment for medium depth wrinkles caused by muscle contraction (for example, crow’s feet and frown lines), and if started early and continued regularly, it can prevent permanent wrinkles from forming in these areas. The only real risk is misplacement of BOTOX® into improper muscles groups; therefore, it is important find a qualified, experienced physician. When placed properly, BOTOX offers an outstanding, natural-looking treatment that lasts for approximately three months at a time. Some patients require both the injectable material and BOTOX® to reach their ideal result. Also, chemical peels, in conjunction with a professional skin care system, can be effective in minimizing fine lines by slightly tightening the skin. Learn About other Botox uses Here.
