When BOTOX® is injected into the patient’s face, it relaxes the contraction of facial muscles by blocking nerve impulses. Since these muscles will no longer be able to contract, the face relaxes and this softens and reduces wrinkles and creases in the skin.

The treatment is not permanent, so patients should anticipate re-treatments every few months to prevent further wrinkles from appearing, though each injection should also reduce the depth of newer wrinkles. In this respect, BOTOX® can also be used preventatively, to delay the appearance of wrinkles.

Treatment takes about 15-20 minutes.

BOTOX® is a popular choice with men and women who wish to reduce the appearance of winkles and frown lines, typically around the face and neck. While this is the most common application of BOTOX®, it can also be used to treat severe brow furrow, uncontrolled blinking and lazy eyes. BOTOX® patients can be of any age or gender, and the popularity of the treatment is increasing every year.

When it comes to improving the signs of ageing, there are many other treatments that could help, such as dermal fillers, mesotherapy, IPL or radiofrequency facials.
