WRINKLE CORRECTION WITH BOTULINUM TOXINBotulinum toxin can be effective in removing expression wrinkles on the face. Botulinum Toxin has a long record of use in medicine. It was first used by neurologists to treat muscle cramps. Lately, it has been discovered that Botox could be used to solve wrinkle problems as well. Botox injections are injected in the wrinkled area of the skin, relaxing the facial tissues. So Botulinum Toxin was approved for cosmetic use in plastic surgery. The solution in safe and minimum doses is injected into the muscle with a very slender needle. This method is fast and very effective. Muscle contraction resulting from our facial expressions such as frowning and laughing causes wrinkles to form around eyes or on the forehead. They can be smoothed by relaxing the underlying muscles. This is how Botulinum Toxin injections work: they are targeted to relax a particular muscle or group of muscles thus preventing lines in the treated area. The effect of the injection will become visible in just 2-4 days. Botox itself is not a permanent solution and does require repeated treatments in order to maintain the effects. As the Botox starts to wear off, the muscles at the site of injection will generally begin to regain function, which will cause the wrinkles to reappear. It is recommended to repeat injections after 6-8 months.
