Botox, or botulinum toxin, helps us temporarily eliminate expression lines: it is a toxin that, once injected, prevents the muscle from contracting, meaning it paralyzes it. This way, wrinkles do not form. Its effect is temporary and lasts about four to six months, depending on each patient.
Not all facial wrinkles can be treated with Botox: botulinum toxin only affects dynamic wrinkles or expression lines, which are those that form as a result of making different gestures with facial muscles. These wrinkles usually form in the upper third of our face (especially between the eyebrows), which is why this type of treatment is most often applied there. Wrinkles caused by aging or sun exposure cannot be treated with botulinum toxin.
The effects of Botox, as we have said, last between four and six months, and afterward (with the approval of our doctor) it will be necessary to repeat the treatment. Sometimes, over time, and as applications are repeated, the effect of Botox can last longer, requiring fewer and more spaced-out injections.
Most side effects are due to incorrect application of botulinum toxin: consulting a specialized doctor can save us many problems that can arise from an erroneous application. The most frequent problem in these cases is the drooping of the eyelid or the facial muscle where the injection was applied. If the patient's natural facial expression is not taken into account, very drastic changes can occur if Botox is applied incorrectly, since what is being done is paralyzing the muscle, which can create a completely different expression from the usual one.
Other common problems include the inability to close the eye completely, constant tearing or, conversely, dry eye syndrome, and even damage to the cornea or weakening of facial muscles.
Therefore, if you only want to eliminate expression lines, as Botox cannot eliminate other wrinkles such as those caused by aging or sun exposure...
