Botox works by binding to the nerve endings, preventing the nerve from releasing neurotransmitters. This causes the muscle to relax or, in other words, induces a temporary paralysis of the targeted small muscles. The effects typically start within 2-3 days, with the full results visible within 7–14 days.
Are Botox injections safe?
Botox was the first injectable treatment approved for wrinkle treatment and has been certified by both the FDA in the United States and the FDA in Thailand. Botox has been widely used for nearly 20 years, with extensive research conducted by the American Society of Aesthetic Surgery on its safety and effectiveness. It is widely regarded as the most popular cosmetic procedure since 2001.
The main results of botox injections
Botox helps to reduce deep wrinkles all over the face quickly without the need for surgery. It smooths out fine lines, leaving the face looking plump, firm, and youthful. In addition, Botox injections can also contour the face, reducing the size of facial muscles naturally.
Side effects of botox injections
- Tightness in the face
- Some muscles may become temporarily paralyzed
- Drooping of the forehead with a feeling of tightness
- Numbness in the area where the injection was administered
