How Does Botox Work?
Botox is injected in minute quantities into the contracted muscles that cause wrinkles and the results are impressive. The muscles relax and wrinkles improve. Within five to seven days, lines of facial expression are reduced. The effect does wear off within three to six months and then Botox needs to be injected again. Most patients, however, do request additional sessions. Studies appear to show that with continued treatments, there is a greater length of time between injection procedures.
More about Botox
Botox (Botulinum A) has been used safely by physicians for 20 years to treat patients with certain medical conditions such as eye spasms, central nervous system disorders and excessive muscle contractions. The more recent use of Botox to reduce wrinkles was discovered almost by accident.

What is the Treatment Like?
Because the toxin is injected in such small amounts, the safety profile for this medication is high and side effects are minimal. There may be a slight sting at the injection site in about half of the people undergoing the procedure. There may be a mild bruise at the injection site but this is uncommon. Bruising appears to be more common in those people taking aspirin or blood thinners. There might be a concern about a droopy eyebrow or droopy eyelid. Droopy eyelids occur in about one out of 100 people. It lasts an average of four weeks and then it goes away.
