Download TREATMENT OF WRINKLES WITH BOTOX Not all wrinkles are

Not all wrinkles are caused by sun damage and aging. Some are due to repeated
facial expressions, such as the so-called "frown lines" between the eyebrows, "crow's
feet" from squinting, and the horizontal lines across the forehead from raising the
eyebrows. These wrinkles not only may make a person appear older, but may also give
one the appearance of being frustrated, worried, or angry.
Botox provides a safe (FDA-approved), effective, and easy way to reduce these
wrinkles. A small amount of medication is injected into a few sites just beneath the skin.
This relaxes the surface muscles, easing and smoothing the lines that the muscle
action has created.
Side effects are very uncommon and may include soreness or mild swelling at the
injection area, transient headache, temporary numbness, or bruising. Very rarely,
slight drooping of an eyelid may occur; this is not permanent and may be treated
with medicated eye drops until it resolves (typically in 2 weeks). For some patients,
one pleasant effect has been the relief or even elimination of migraine and/or tension
headaches for several months after treatment with Botox for wrinkles.
In most patients, the beneficial effects of Botox treatment of facial lines last for threefour months. Many people who undergo repeated treatments find that the beneficial
effects of Botox tend to last longer with subsequent treatments. People frequently
comment that Botox not only smoothens their wrinkles, but it also gives them a more
cheerful, positive expression, which is certainly a compliment to anyone's appearance
and well being.
