Can Botox Be Used as a Skin Rejuvenation Method?
Yes. Botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox) temporarily reduces the movement of the facial expression muscles, softening the appearance of the wrinkles these muscles create. For this reason, it is widely used among skin rejuvenation treatments.
Which Areas Is It Applied To?
Forehead lines
Frown lines between the eyebrows
Crow's feet around the eyes
Procedure and Duration of Effect
The procedure is performed with fine needles in a few minutes, and most people can return to their daily routine right away. The effect begins within a few days and, although it varies from person to person, lasts an average of 3–6 months; the treatment needs to be repeated to maintain the results.
Botox is effective for wrinkles caused by muscle movement; for concerns such as pigmentation or skin texture, it can be planned together with other methods. The treatment must always be performed by a physician after a proper evaluation.
