Botox

How long does it last?

Muscle paralysis after the initial injection lasts between 4 and 6 months for most patients.

Following, another injection may be administered. After several treatments, the effects may begin to last longer.

Will Botox injecitons freeze my face?

No. These injections only relax the overactive muscle underneath the dynamic wrinkle. The other elements of facial expression remain active.

Are there any side effects?

In some cases, the toxin can migrate and cause a temporary weakness of nearby muscles. In rare cases, there can be a drooping of an eyelid or asymmetry of facial expression.

The most common side effects of the wrinkle relaxing injections are temporary and reversible, lasting only a few weeks.
