The word toxin makes botox have a bad reputation because it’s sometimes referred to as a poisonous toxin. In fact, botox has been approved by FDA as a safe treatment and used for more than 40 years for both aesthetic & therapeutic treatments. It is also the most common cosmetic procedure performed worldwide, with estimates of nearly 3 million injections per year
It usually takes around 30 minutes. The procedure will consist of personalized consultation, preparation & cleansing of the areas, and the botox injection itself. After the botox treatment, you will notice the difference within 3 days, however, the full effect will be achieved after 2 weeks.
It varies case by case depending on your body’s metabolism and your lifestyle. Generally speaking, botox can last 3-6 months. Botox is a temporary solution, however, the main function of the Botox treatment is to prevent the dynamic wrinkle turn into static. Repetitive dynamic wrinkles in the frown area can develop into 11 lines which cause an angry look. Frequent raising of eyebrows can lead to horizontal forehead wrinkles and lines. Once it turns to static wrinkles (for example 11 lines), it’s very difficult to get rid of it. Some muscle like masseter (that causes bruxism) can weaken over time and become atrophy, which means future treatments require less of the drug to achieve the same desired effect.
