Botox in San Antonio, TX. Is it right for you?

Botox treatment is used cosmetically to remove or reduce frown lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows as well as crow’s feet around eyes.

How it Works
The Botox is injected into the muscles to prevent them from contracting. The Botox prevents the transmission of messages from the nerves to the muscles thereby ensuring that the muscles remain relaxed and unwrinkled.

Method
The practitioner uses sterile needles to inject the Botox in premarked locations on the face. As the Botox works by preventing muscles from contracting, it is injected into the muscles that cause the wrinkles not the wrinkles themselves.

Effectiveness
Botox injections work to remove only wrinkles caused by frowning. They are ineffective against wrinkles caused by exposure to the sun or those caused by gravity. Botox injections take up to a week to become effective and last at least three months.
