Is Botox Right For
Me?
Botox
works by weakening the muscles of facial expression. Once the resting tone of
these muscles have been weakened, the pull of the muscles relax and the skin
smoothes out. This method is an entirely different approach to treating the
aging face. Collagen injections, which is a commonly used anti-aging treatment,
works by filling in a wrinkle. However, collagen fillers are not as effective as
Botox in improving the frown wrinkles between the eyebrows.
Botox takes 3-6 days to take effect and
will last between 3-6 months. Botox is most effective for the frown lines
between the eyebrows, but can also be used to minimize the horizontal facial
lines in the central area of the forehead, and crows feet at he corner of the
eyes. It is not effective for wrinkles in the middle and lower portion of the
face.
