How Botox injections work
Botox has become a household name since it was approved by the FDA for cosmetic use. In the past, Botox was used for medical conditions such as cervical dystonia and chronic migraines and headaches. However, it is now used for cosmetic purposes as well. This medication is injected directly into the muscles of the face to keep them from contracting, therefore smoothing the skin and achieving a more aesthetic appearance. These injections can immobilize the muscles that contribute to:
- Crow’s feet
- Glabellar lines (the “eleven’s” between the eyebrows)
- Forehead folds
Who is a candidate for Botox injections?
The best candidate for Botox injection for cosmetic use are adult men and women who are in good overall health and do not have allergic reactions to the ingredients found in this injectable treatment. Most of our patients are women in their 30’s or 40’s who are interested in slowing the signs of aging on the face and want to target specific areas on the upper third of the facial area.
