BOTOX COSMETIC

The lines on the face are formed due to constant, chronic muscle movement under the skin. These lines are commonly seen on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.

Botox injection into the muscle temporarily paralyzes the muscle, thus preventing or improving these lines. The effect of Botox may last up to 6 months (with repeated injections).

Ideally, Botox should be used before static lines are formed (lines which are visible when the face is not animated). Once static lines are present, the effect of Botox is minimal to moderate. Other treatments such as laser resurfacing, chemical peel, or dermabrasion is recommended.
