BOTOX® has proven already in many ways that it is a revolutionary solution for tackling wrinkles among other issues. The fact that it is non-invasive while still offering impressive results makes the risks of going under the knife to restore your youthful appeal entirely uncalled for. Now, as you consider what this cosmetic treatment could do for you, you might want to take a look at five frequently asked questions about BOTOX®.
1. What Is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® is a drug under the banner of injectable cosmetic treatments, it is used to alleviate the effects of wrinkles. A specialist injects the drug into facial muscles prone to wrinkling. The drug relaxes muscle contractions, which soothes the muscles stopping the progression of wrinkles.
2. Am I a Candidate?
Any healthy individual struggling with unwanted facial wrinkles can be a candidate for these injections. Mild to severe wrinkles are both treatable with the injections.

3. What Is the Right Age to Get BOTOX®?
A lot goes into figuring out the right age for getting BOTOX®. If you are an outdoorsy person, the sun damage to your skin which accelerates the aging process may call for an early start, at probably 30. Also, your skin type and tone come into consideration. However, the perfect age to start BOTOX® treatment is usually 35 to 40, unless you are more concerned with preventing wrinkles than addressing them.
4. How Should I Prepare?
Setting up an appointment is how you begin the journey. After a consultation with our specialist, you will be equipped with all the necessary information you need about the treatment.
5. What to Do after Treatment?
