What is Botox?

Botox (botulinum toxin) is a medical treatment that temporarily reduces nerve signalling to facial muscles, preventing wrinkles from forming. As the muscle relaxes, folding of the overlying skin decreases and existing lines soften over time. It is not surgery — no incisions, no stitches, no recovery period. The application takes 10-15 minutes and patients return to daily life the same day.

The most commonly treated areas are forehead lines, vertical glabellar frown lines and crow's feet around the eyes. Botox can also be used for a brow lift, bunny lines at the nasal root, upper lip lines and gummy smile correction. Treatment areas and doses are determined by assessing the patient's muscle strength and wrinkle depth.

Botox also has medical uses beyond aesthetics. For excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) it is applied to the underarms, palms or soles to suppress overactive sweat glands, with effects lasting 6-9 months. For teeth grinding (bruxism) it is applied to the masseter muscle, easing symptoms while slimming a square jawline. Chronic migraine treatment is another approved indication.

The most critical factors are dose and muscle selection. Every facial muscle has a distinct role; treating the wrong muscle or overdosing can cause brow drop, asymmetry or a

Botox effects are not permanent; muscles return to their previous activity after an average of 4-6 months. This is in fact a safety feature: even an undesired outcome resolves completely over time. With regular repetition, muscles weaken so the effect lasts longer at lower doses. Preventive treatment started before lines become permanent delays their deepening.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Botox

Botox results last an average of 4-6 months. The first application may last 3-4 months, while with regular repetition the muscles gradually weaken, extending the duration and requiring lower doses. Metabolism, intensity of facial expression use, exercise habits and the treated area all affect duration.

When applied at the correct dose to the correct muscles, facial expressions are preserved. The

Botox is applied with very fine needles, so discomfort is minimal — most patients describe a slight ant-bite sensation. The procedure takes 10-15 minutes and requires no anaesthesia. For patients with a low pain threshold, topical anaesthetic cream or cold application can be used beforehand.

Effects typically begin within 3-7 days and settle fully within 2 weeks, so results should be assessed at day 14. If planning around a special event (wedding, important meeting), schedule Botox at least 2-3 weeks in advance. A follow-up at week 2 allows fine-tuning if needed.

No. Beyond aesthetic use for forehead lines, glabellar frown lines and crow's feet, Botox has medical indications: excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), teeth grinding (bruxism), slimming a square jawline caused by masseter hypertrophy, migraine treatment and gummy smile correction.

Botulinum toxin has been used in medicine since the 1980s and is FDA-approved. Applied by a specialist physician using original product at correct dosing, it is considered safe. It does not accumulate in the body and its effect wears off completely. It is not applied during pregnancy, breastfeeding, in neuromuscular disorders or with active infection at the site.

Do not lie down or bend forward for the first 4 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise, sauna, steam room, solarium and hot showers for 24 hours. Do not massage or rub the treated area. Avoiding alcohol and blood thinners on day one reduces bruising risk. Make-up can be applied after 4-6 hours.

Botox can be applied over the age of 18. However, age alone is not the criterion — what matters is how pronounced the expression lines are. When lines formed during movement start leaving a permanent mark at rest, it is time. This typically occurs around 25-30. Low-dose preventive Botox in early stages delays lines becoming permanent.
