What To Expect From BOTOX® Injections

before and after of man botox treatment in ocala, flBOTOX® is an injectable solution of a very small amount of botulism that is placed into the wrinkled area to smooth it. The treatment was approved by the FDA in December 1989 to treat eye muscle disorders. The newest approval for cosmetic BOTOX® established the versatility of the product and procedures available.

The liquid BOTOX® is injected with a very tiny needle into the muscle that created the wrinkle. When BOTOX® is injected into a muscle, it blocks the nerve impulses from reaching that area and as a result, the muscle weakens. As the muscle weakens, the skin overlying the muscle relaxes and the wrinkles in the skin gradually soften and often disappear. BOTOX® treatment does not affect normal facial expressions when administered properly.

The effects generally last for 3-6 months. The treatment has to be repeated as the wrinkles and frown lines reappear. With repeated treatment, the effects may last longer. The results can be dramatic and last several months.
