Botox Injections - Get a Facelift Without Surgery
By: Lin Parker
Thinking about a face lift? There are many alternative treatments to cosmetic surgery, which give a non-surgical face lift, reduce wrinkles and help you look 10 years younger. In the last few years, Botox has become a very popular treatment. There is a long history of safe, effective use of Botox to treat muscular problems, and now it is used to remove lines and wrinkles on the face caused by daily muscle contraction of your natural facial expressions. How Does Botox Work? Botox (Botulinum Toxin) prevents muscles from contracting. When injected into the face, it relaxes the muscles and therefore removes facial lines and wrinkles caused by muscle contraction. It is a temporary anti ageing treatment, lasting for several months. The effects of botox can make you look years younger, and boost your self confidence and self esteem.Which areas of the Face can be Treated with Botox? Lines on the face caused by muscle contraction can be treated by Botox. Lines on the forehead, frown lines at the bridge of the nose (glabella lines), eye wrinkles and crows feet (laughter lines) can all be treated with Botox.When Will I See Results After a Botox Treatment?

The full effects of Botox injections can be seen in 5-7 days. Results may vary on individuals, depending on the severity of wrinkles and the strength of muscles treated. What are the Side Effects of Botox Injections? (Article Continues Below)
Occasionally, a temporary drooping of the eyelid may occur. The risks of this can be minimised if injections to the forehead are limited to the upper and central areas of the forehead. This also has a beneficial effect of lifting the eyebrows, which improves the appearance of the upper eyelids and reduces any drooping skin around the upper eyes, giving a more youthful, wider eyed look.
