SOFTEN YOUR TOUGHEST WRINKLE

• Many wrinkles are caused by repeating the same expression thousands of times. Eventually, a crease forms in the skin. These dynamic expression lines, often called frown lines or crow’s feet, are due to contraction of muscles beneath the skin.
• Botox injection is a non-surgical procedure which relaxes the muscles that cause deep, persistent lines between the brows, on the forehead, and around the eyes.
• In clinical trials, 90% of patients saw improvement in their brow line wrinkles.
• Unlike surgery, Botox is fast, simple and has no "downtime" or recovery period.

THE PROCESS

• A small amount of Botox is injected through a tiny needle into the specific muscles causing unwanted expression lines.
• Discomfort is minimal and brief, and sometimes is described as similar to an insect bite.
• The procedure requires only about ten minutes.
• Side effects are unlikely, but include bruising at the treatment site which can be covered by makeup.
• Touch up treatments may be needed two to four weeks later.
• The effects of Botox last up to four months; injections must then be repeated to obtain optimum benefits.
• With subsequent treatments, the beneficial effects can last longer.

CAN ANYONE GET BOTOX TREATMENT?

• Restrictions on Botox are few. Pregnant woman and those with neurological problems should not be treated.
