Botox® – Face & Neck
Botulinum Toxin (otherwise known as Botox®) is used in the face and neck area to soften or neutralize muscle action. The resulting change or softening in the facial expression decrease how much the skin gets folded and ultimately decrease expression line formation. In a young face, the Botulinum Toxin can “prevent” the formation of lines and in an older face it can slow down the process.
There are multiple frown patterns and individual variations in forehead muscle size. It is key that the treating doctor has a keen eye for detail. There is a balance between muscle groups and in order to preserve as natural look as possible (whilst softening expression lines at the same time), an artistic approach as well as excellent knowledge of facial anatomy and a steady hand is required when it comes to injecting the face.
Botulinum treatments typically last 3 – 4 months and the motto “you can always add” has been proven wise on many occasions. Once Botulinum Toxin has been administered, there is no way to remove it from body but to wait for the time it takes the body to break it down.
