How To Effectively Treat Wrinkles

Botox Injections

Botox injections may be used to help treat forehead wrinkles. These injections have been approved for use in individuals who are sixty-five years old or younger. They don't tend to have the same level of efficacy for older individuals. It's safe to use Botox treatments long-term, and stopping use will not cause skin to look worse than before the treatment began. When Botox is injected into the skin, botulinum toxin causes a temporary paralysis in muscle activity. Because the paralysis is temporary, patients will need repeated injections if they want their skin's appearance to continue being less wrinkled. The toxin blocks the signals nerves send to tell muscles to contract, which leads to a temporary relaxing of the facial muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. The number of injections necessary will vary from person to person. If treating a large area, patients will typically need more injections. Individuals tend to begin seeing results within a few days following the treatment. The effect typically lasts at least three months, though it can sometimes last longer.
