What is Botox?

Botox is a purified and diluted formulation of botulinum toxin. It has the property of relaxing muscles, and that property can be used strategically to relax wrinkles in the face. Repeated facial expressions cause what are known as “dynamic wrinkles,” such as a vertical line between the eyebrows and crows’ feet around the eyes.

Cosmetic doctors are specially trained to evaluate a patient’s facial expressions and precisely determine where to inject Botox to relax wrinkles. Done properly, this treatment can relax the wrinkles while still allowing the patient to make facial expressions.

People who are considering having Botox procedures should make sure to choose a doctor who has plenty of experience with it, preferably a cosmetic surgeon who specializes in minimally invasive procedures.

When done improperly, Botox can result in the face taking on a waxen “frozen” look, and can lead to what is colloquially called “batwing” eyebrows that make the person look surprised all the time. Improperly placed or measured Botox can cause eyelids to droop, and the effects will take several months to wear off.
