Botox
Repeated facial movements such as frowning, squinting, laughing
etc. form lines known as dynamic wrinkles. These are commonly seen around the
eyes, forehead, and mouth, and may give the appearance of advancing age. Botox
works by relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles giving the face a
rejuvenated appearance. The procedure is so simple and quick that patients can
have it done in their lunch hour, and go back to work immediately after.
When injected by a trained doctor, the procedure takes just a
few minutes. The wrinkle-smoothing result can be seen within days, and can last
for 3 - 6 months. It is a simple, noninvasive treatment that gives more relaxed,
refreshed, and younger-looking faces.
Specific areas can be targeted for Botox treatment, such as
‘Crow's Feet' around the eyes, drooping eyebrows or the deep lines around the
mouth.
Botox can also be used to reduce excessive sweating of the
hands and armpits.
