Botox has a wide range of both cosmetic and medical applications. Cosmetically, it is used to treat wrinkles and fine lines caused by muscle movement and to provide an overall rejuvenated appearance. Medically, Botox can be used to treat muscle spasms, excessive sweating, an over active bladder and even migraines.

It can also be used for the following:

– Manage acne — Botox helps to reduce oil production
– Get a temporary face-lift — Botox can provide a great amount of lift in the face
– Mimic a nose job — Botox can produce results similar to a nose job
– Soften your jawline and chin — Botox can tighten the skin under your jaw
– Lift your lips — Botox can provide volume to the lips and reshape their appearance
– Reduce wrinkles on the chest — Botox can be used beyond the face to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Some research shows that receiving multiple Botox injections in the same location may increase the duration of the effects.

To make the effects of Botox last as long as possible, it is important to receive the injections from an experienced and certified medical practitioner who is well-versed in the most effective techniques and  to follow aftercare instructions carefully.

The youngest age one can receive a Botox treatment is 18 years. Many experts agree that patients in their late 20s and early 30s are at a prime age for preventative Botox treatments, to proactively prevent adverse wrinkles and other signs of aging from appearing.

On average, a cosmetic Botox injection lasts 3 to 6 months. However, this may vary, depending on:

– The person’s age
– Their sex
– Their muscle mass
– The injection technique
– The dilution of the toxin
– The volume of the solution
– The positioning of the injection

Botox is a cosmetic injectable designed to improve the appearance of the skin. It will alter your appearance, but not drastically; it will not make you look like a different person, but will take many years off of your apparent age. If you continuously get Botox for over ten years, you will look much younger and have fewer wrinkles when compared to someone of a similar physiology. Your skin will look much smoother and the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines will be greatly diminished. The beauty of Botox is that you can age gracefully without having any wrinkles on the glabella, forehead, or around the eyes, when you may have been prone to developing them.
