HOW DOES IT WORK

Botox  works by blocking the release of acetylcholine by neurons, which weakens muscles. This can help reduce symptoms such as muscle spasms or reduce the look of wrinkles that are associated with muscles. Since your patients use their muscles for facial expressions, over time this can develop deep lines and wrinkles in certain areas of their face, such as between their eyebrows. Relaxing the muscles beneath the skin helps to smooth the look of facial lines and wrinkles

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS.

Botox is made from botulinum toxin, a powerful natural toxin, but in small amounts it can be beneficial. Botox  can cause some side effects, such as bruising, redness, pain, or infection at the injection site. Botox  can also cause symptoms such as respiratory infection, dizziness, nausea, headache, difficulty swallowing, muscle weakness, dry eye, eye irritation, double vision, swollen or drooping eyelid (ptosis), more tears or less blinking, sensitivity to light when injected near the eyes, neck pain, back pain, sweating, or anxiety. There is a risk of the toxic effects of the botulinum toxin spreading to other areas of the body as well
