What is Wrinkle Treatment

Wrinkle treatment with botulinum toxin, commonly known by brand names such as Botox, involves injecting small amounts of the toxin into specific facial muscles. This neurotoxin temporarily paralyzes the targeted muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases. The treatment is minimally invasive, requires no downtime, and typically results in a smoother, more youthful appearance. Effects generally last for three to six months, after which repeat treatments are needed to maintain results.

Is Wrinkle Treatment for me?

Wrinkle treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox) may be suitable for you if you have dynamic wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are seeking a minimally invasive solution to achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance.

During the procedure

During wrinkle treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox), the procedure begins with the application of a numbing agent to the targeted areas for comfort. The medical professional then uses a fine needle to inject small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific facial muscles. The number and location of injections depend on the areas being treated and the desired results. The entire process typically takes about 10 to 30 minutes. There is minimal discomfort, and no downtime is required, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately after the treatment.

After Wrinkle Treatment

Avoid Touching the Area: Do not rub or massage the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
Stay Upright: Remain upright for at least four hours post-treatment to prevent the toxin from migrating.
Avoid Exercise: Refrain from vigorous exercise for 24 hours.
Skip Heat Exposure: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and excessive sun exposure for a few days.
Normal Activities: You can typically resume normal activities immediately.
