Botox is a popular skincare treatment used to eradicate or soften wrinkles or lines that arise from the face muscle activity.

From last many years, Botox is used by doctors to successfully treat facial creases and wrinkles. Manufacturers make the injections of Botox with tinny doses of Botulinum toxin.

How Botox Works:-

Botox is a form of cosmetic surgery treatment, that is medically used to treat particular muscular conditions. Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles to cosmetically remove the wrinkles. When botox is injected into the face, blocks the signals from nerves to the muscles. Its initial work is to bind with certain structures to stop the muscles from contracting. Botox is injected in the tiniest amounts into the skin, which is enough for creating the desired effect. When botox stops the muscles from contracting, they relax that further results in a smoother appearance on the skin surface.

When botox is injected, firstly an anesthetic cream is rubbed by the doctor on the area to numb it. After that, the medicine is injected into specific facial muscles.

Botox prevents the release of acetylcholine, which helps to stop the contraction. Mostly botox is used on crow's feet forehead lines, and also the frown lines. No doubt this procedure takes only a few minutes, but the results are long-lasting. Botox injections do not need anesthesia. With minor discomfort, a small needle is used to inject it into specific muscles. Generally, 7 to 14 days is taken by botox to show its full effect.

How long does it last:-

Botox effects last up to 3 to 6 months. It is the perfect solution for wrinkles around the eyes, between the eyebrows, lines at the mouth corners, and horizontal creases in the forehead. Within the first week of the treatment, you will notice fewer wrinkles and facial lines, and that your facial muscles have begun to relax.

As muscle action slowly returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking. As muscle action returns gradually, the wrinkles and lines start reappearing because of which wrinkles need to be re-treated. However, with time they often appear less severe as the muscles are being trained by botox to relax.
