The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, sometimes referred to as "Botox" by patients, is a popular injectable that temporarily reduces or eliminates facial fine lines and wrinkles. The most commonly treated areas are frown lines, forehead creases and crow's feet near the eyes. Several other areas have been treated such as thick bands in the neck, thick jaw muscles, lip lines and gummy smiles.
Botulinum toxin is a purified substance that's derived from bacteria. Injections of botulinum toxin block the nerve signals to the muscle in which it was injected. Without a signal, the muscle is not able to contract. The end result is diminished unwanted facial wrinkles or appearance. Commonly known types of botulinum toxin type A injections include Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and Jeuveau®.
Botulinum toxin can be used to
• Smooth crow's feet, forehead furrows, frown lines, lip lines and bunny lines
• Diminish neck bands
• Improve the appearance of skin dimpling of the chin
• Lift the corners of the mouth
• Soften a square jawline
• Correct a gummy smile
Botox was the first brand of botulinum toxin to be approved by the FDA for aesthetic use, for relaxation of the muscles that cause frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet in adults. It can be used in many other areas of the face and neck for other problems. These are decided mutually between you and your injection provider. You should begin to notice the results within 72 hours, and full results by two weeks. The results generally last from 3-7 months, depending on the individual.
