Botox is often used for reducing, removing, or preventing wrinkles such as frown lines between the eyebrows, worry lines in the forehead, and crow’s feet around the eyes. Because these wrinkles are caused over time by muscles repeatedly contracting to make an expression when the muscles are relaxed, the wrinkles fade.
However, it’s important to note, the longer you’ve been making those expressions, the deeper the wrinkles have gone into your skin. In some cases, BOTOX will diminish, but not remove these deep wrinkles. The ability to relax these expression muscles is why BOTOX is a great preventative measure. BOTOX is one of the few tools in the cosmetic surgery arsenal that can prevent lines from forming in the first place.
