The brow is an especially sensitive area to wrinkles. Squinting, laughing, frowning, smoking, and worrying may all have a negative impact on the skin on the forehead. Often, deep lines form in the forehead called expression lines. Botox aims to eliminate wrinkles by relaxing the muscles underneath the forehead.
Botox is created and extracted from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. When injected beneath the skin, it works to block signals sent from the brain to the muscles. This relaxes the stressed muscles, making the forehead much smoother. The injections take approximately 10 minutes. After the injections, bruising occasionally occurs. This normally resolves itself in 2 to 3 days. After that same amount of time, the results of the treatment should begin to become visible. The maximum effects of the Botox treatment will be reached in 10 to 14 days. Your surgeon can discuss details and answer any questions you might have about this procedure.
