Botox is currently one of the most demanded facial rejuvenation treatments. This substance has the property of stopping the movement of the muscles that cause mobile expression lines or wrinkles.
Where is botox applied?
This substance is only used to treat those folds that have been caused by facial gestures.
At Inout we are experts in the field of botox, for this reason we explain to you in which parts of the face botox is applied and how long its effect lasts.
Areas where botox is applied
Botox is a toxin that, when applied subcutaneously to the skin, causes muscle paralysis in the area to be treated. By administering it in a specific area, the contraction of those muscles that cause the formation of expression lines when they are in movement is temporarily prevented. This means that this substance is effective only on dynamic wrinkles that are caused by facial gesticulation.
But exactly where is the botox applied? The areas in which it is administered are the following:
forehead wrinkles
They are the furrows that are produced by the contraction of the frontal muscle located in the forehead. By applying botox in this area we manage to eliminate the formation of expression lines on the forehead, better known as barcodes.
periorbital wrinkles
Periorbital?
Yes, this is the name by which the commonly called “crow’s feet” are known. These expression lines are formed by the contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle.
frown lines
This is one of the areas where people apply Botox the most, since these wrinkles are very common and hardly respond to other treatments. The space between the eyebrows wrinkles due to the movement of the corrugator muscle and its correction with botox is very aesthetic and natural.
There are many aesthetic centers that currently offer to treat wrinkles around the lips, neck furrows and expression lines around the nose with botox, however, the application of toxin in these areas is not recommended by experts. .
To treat the furrows in these areas, there are treatments that offer even better results than botox, such as hyaluronic acid injections.
botox information
How long does the effect of botox last?
The results of the application of botox to improve the appearance of wrinkles are immediate. Although after the session the person may have a slightly swollen face due to the injection, with the passing of hours a considerable improvement can be noticed.
Botox offers a temporary tightening effect, since as the days, weeks and months go by, the muscle weakens again until it recovers its movement after 6 months. Therefore, we can say that this is the period of time that the effect of botox lasts.
Once muscle mobility has been recovered and wrinkles have re-formed, a new application is necessary.
