BOTOX is injected into muscles in extremely tiny quantities amounts, and immediately goes to work by preventing the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to slow communication between nerve cells and muscles located at the injection site. As a result, the muscles relax and soften. Because these muscles are unable to contract to the degree they did prior to treatment, the lines and creases the muscles created are now smooth – creating a more pleasant, open, and youthful look.
BOTOX is primarily used in the field of non-invasive cosmetic rejuvenation as a treatment to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines. Although it is widely popular for this reason, it is also used to treat over two dozen different medical conditions and more applications are being discovered every year.
BOTOX treatment requires skills in both science and aesthetics to produce smooth, youthful, and natural-looking results. As there are 43 muscles in the human face, it is imperative that your injector has a thorough understanding of facial anatomy, and where exactly to inject BOTOX for the most natural look. It is vital that your treatment is performed by an expert injector at a highly-reputable clinic. Expect the following in your treatment:

You can start getting BOTOX even before you develop any wrinkles as a preventative measure, or when you notice lines and wrinkles starting to appear. The average age for people to start BOTOX treatments is in their 30s or 40s. As the skin ages and develops lines, wrinkles, and creases as a result of constant facial motions, BOTOX injections, when performed correctly, have a wonderful smoothing effect, leaving you looking youthful and refreshed. For superior results that appear natural, not frozen, ensure your BOTOX injections are performed by an expert.
BOTOX prevents the constant facial muscle motions that create “dynamic wrinkles.” By slowing the wear on your skin from constant creasing, BOTOX can prevent the development of many facial lines and wrinkles. Many people are choosing to undergo BOTOX treatments in their 20s to ward off the development of facial wrinkles between the brows, on the forehead and around the eyes. These injections can keep your face looking smooth and wrinkle-free for years longer than nature dictates.
The results from BOTOX injections develop gradually over three to seven days as the muscles become less and less active. The start of the smoothing effect appears at about three days after treatment. The optimal rejuvenating effect is achieved at two or three weeks after treatment. If you are planning on having BOTOX performed for a special occasion or event, then it is best to schedule your treatment at least two weeks prior to the event so you look your best. The time for BOTOX to take effect can vary depending on whether you are undergoing your first treatment or if you have regularly scheduled BOTOX injections.
The results of a BOTOX treatment can last between three to six months before fading. It is recommended to schedule another treatment before the results diminish so that you can maintain the smooth, more youthful look. You can schedule a treatment as soon as three months after the initial injections. This time in between treatments is necessary to allow you to enjoy the results of BOTOX without developing resistance to the active ingredient.
You may notice with regular treatments, only one or two treatments per year is all that is needed. Every person is different, but one thing is always true: BOTOX should only be injected by a true professional in the field of aesthetics, never at a cut-rate spa. Big discounts on BOTOX injections are dangerous, as counterfeit BOTOX exists and may have unknown health risks or produce results you regret.
