Botox Injections
Aesthetic plastic surgeons have found that the type of lines and wrinkles that respond best to botulinum toxin injections are those caused specifically by those muscles that are repeatedly over-contracted during facial expressions such as frowning or squinting. Patients who show early signs of aging, as well as those who may not be suitable candidates for more extensive facial aesthetic surgery, may be good candidates for this procedure.
The effects of the botulinum toxin are usually noted within 24 to 48 hours after injection. On average, they last for approximately 4 months. Therefore, improvements are temporary and injections must be repeated to maintain the desired effect.
