Botox® is effective for treating wrinkles that occur with facial expression (dynamic wrinkles) in the area between the eyebrows, forehead, lips, neck and around the eyes (crow’s feet). Botox® can also prevent wrinkles and facial creases from deepening over time by keeping the muscles relaxed.
The results of the Botox® injections appear between 2 to 10 days after treatment. The effect will last from 3 to 5 months. The good news is that consecutive treatments can lead to longer results, ultimately reducing the long-term cost.
The best candidates for treatment are individuals between the ages of 25 and 65. Botox® is effective for dynamic wrinkles which occur with facial expression in the area between the eyebrows, on the forehead and around the eyes.
