in the United States since the FDA approved it in
2002. Botox injections are used for smoothing of
wrinkles, which are the lines between your
eyebrows or on forehead that can make you look
tire

• Botox injection is the most popular non-surgical
  cosmetic procedure. Botox Cosmetic contains
  botulinum toxin in a purified, injectable form
  that is used in cosmetic medical procedures to
  relax facial muscles.
• Because of its ability to prevent facial muscles
  from tightening and creating creases, Botox
  injections have become highly popular for
  treating forehead and brow lines, as well as
  other types of facial wrinkles. Botox is
  formulated to help reduce profuse underarm
  perspiration.

How does Botox works?

• Botox relaxes the muscles under the facial skin
  that are contracted due to aging or increased
  exposure to sun. It smoothes lining and wrinkles
  around eyes, crows feet and wrinkles on
  forehead. Botox can also reduce excess sweating.
  Botox works on muscles around mouth to correct
  gummy smile, droopy angle of mouth.

What is the right dosage?

• The dosage of Botox used depends on the nature of
  the requirement. If it is cosmetic then it
  depends on the area where it is administered. Men
  need a higher dosage as they have bulkier muscle
  mass.

How Botox is administered?

• Botox injections take about 15 minutes and are
  injected into facial muscles through small
  injection needles. Anesthesia is not used the
  area may be numbed with a cold pack or topical
  anesthetic before the injection.

What to expect?

• Mastopexy may be performed in several ways,
  depending on the size of your breasts and the
  amount of sagging. The incisions used in
  mastopexy may be customized based on the size and
  shape of the breasts, and therefore may vary from
  patient to patient.

  professional.
• Before having injections, tell your practitioner
  about any health problems you have.

• Tell your practitioner about medications,
  vitamins, herbal preparations or other
  supplements you take, since some combinations of
  these supplements with Botox could cause serious
  side effects.
• Follow your practitioners pre- and
  post-injection instructions very carefully.
• Report all side effects especially those that
  are bothering you or wont go away.
