What the Consultation Covers
It is important to check how much you use your forehead muscle when opening your eyes. The injection range and amount are then adjusted to your brow position and muscle strength. Not every area is treated with the same amount. The needed areas and amount are decided after checking muscle movement during expressions and overall facial balance.
Areas that affect each other, such as the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes, can be treated together. It is important to check the product and timing of previous treatments and your current muscle movement to set the product, amount and interval. Restricting muscle movement too much or injecting a large amount in a spot that does not fit the facial structure can make expressions look awkward. If your forehead muscle habits and brow position are not fully considered, the brows or eyelids may feel heavy.
How Wrinkle Botox Works
Wrinkle Botox is a treatment that injects botulinum toxin into the muscles that create expression lines to control excessive movement. These include the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes. Wrinkle Botox can be used on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes. It can also be used on other areas where expression lines form, such as the bridge of the nose and around the mouth. As the repeated folding of the skin decreases, it can help soften expression lines and keep them from deepening.
Aftercare Basics
If the treated area turns red or feels hot for a while, a cold compress can help. It is best to avoid alcohol and smoking where possible.
Common Reactions
