Botox is a popular and accessible facial treatment which is used by people to combat the signs of aging. Botulinum toxin (BTX) or Botox is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum and related species. It prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction and thus causes flaccid paralysis.
In medical aesthetics, botulinum toxin is considered safe and effective for reduction of facial wrinkles, especially in the uppermost third of the face. Injection of botulinum toxin into the muscles under facial wrinkles causes relaxation of those muscles, resulting in the smoothing of the skin.
Smoothing of wrinkles is usually visible three days after treatment and is maximally visible two weeks following injection. The treated muscles gradually regain function, and generally return to their former appearance several months after treatment. Muscles can be treated repeatedly to maintain the smoothed appearance.

Botox helps relax certain muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. They can be used on frown, forehead, crow’s feet and some other areas to smooth the fine lines and wrinkles. They can also help prevent the permanent lines and wrinkles of the face. We also inject Botox as an effective treatment for excessive sweating in the armpits. The treatment provides lasting relief from this upsetting condition.

Botox has been approved by the FDA to temporarily soften lines and wrinkles in frown, forehead, and eye areas. Clients with mild, moderate to severe facial wrinkles might be good candidates for Botox, especially if the wrinkles are located in upper third of the face.
Is Botox only for women?
Absolutely not! The number of men choosing Botox treatment is on the rise very quickly and Botox procedure is now becoming very popular among men. In general, men can be treated with the same techniques as women, but often require more units of Botox than women.Pre-Treatment Instructions:
Post-Treatment Instructions:
The effects of Botox generally last 3 to 4 months. As the Botox is absorbed, muscle action gradually returns and the lines and wrinkles appear then. Another Botox session will then be needed to maintain the results. After a few more sessions, lines and wrinkles will appear less severe than before.
