Botox and other fillers have become household names widely recognized with the practices of plastic surgery. Everyone has heard of it by now, but due to the nature of that kind of recognition, there may be misinformation about these types of treatments. Obviously, it would be irresponsible to get a treatment without knowing what to expect and the after effects, so let’s dive in and see what’s really under the surface of a Botox treatment.
 

The Botox treatment is produced from a refined bacterium, administered into facial muscles. The treatment is used primarily to reverse wrinkles and the appearance of crow’s feet. The way it works is by momentarily paralyzing the facial muscles, which causes the wrinkles in the skin to smooth. It is recommended for patients who seek to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by facial muscle movements, such as frown lines or brow wrinkles. This type of muscle relaxant injections offers a minimally invasive alternative to those who wish to avoid undergoing cosmetic surgery.
 

After the treatment, Botox can help boost self-esteem and enhance the quality of life by providing patients with a rejuvenated, relaxed and more radiant appearance. Since the needle used to deliver these injections is fine, no anesthesia is needed and the entire treatment will only take a few minutes. Often referred to as a “lunchtime treatment”, Botox allows for patients to return to work and other activities immediately after treatment. While some slight bruising or headaches can be expected for a day or two, no bandages are required and there are no other after effects. The best part is, the results remain visible for six months.
