Botox

Answer: That is not a common response to botox injections. Botox has been in use for many years and has a very good safety record. There are risks such as bruising, headache, and flu like symptoms. Most patients do very well without any complications.

Answer: Botox works well for motion related or dynamic facial lines. The most common areas on the face for botox injections are between the brows (frown lines), forehead (horizontal lines) and outside of the eyes (crow’s feet) lines. It may make you look younger by helping you to have less facial lines when in motion.

Answer: Botox works by disrupting muscles’ ability to communicate with one another. This has a relaxing/smoothing effect on the overlying skin. It is an excellent way to improve lines on the forehead and around your eyes. A brow lift, on the other hand, is performed to lift and reposition the brow. It is not a good method to treat lines on your forehead. The lines will return as long as you have intact muscles in your forehead.

Answer: This is very much-misunderstood topic of botox injections. Botox relaxes muscles by disrupting muscles' ability to communicate with one another. The so-called 'lifting' effect is achieved by a compensatory action of the muscles that are not injected with botox. The best way to have a 'brow lift' with botox is by injecting botox to the central regions of the forehead in key areas.
