There are many reasons why Botox® has been chosen by millions of women and men and their doctors.
Botox is a prescription medicine derived from Botulinum Toxin that works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles, thereby reducing muscle activity that causes moderate to severe wrinkle lines in the face, especially those between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). Visible results are immediate but are best seen 3 to 4 days later. The effects last from 3 to 4 months and to benefit from these results continuously, a cycle of Botox injections is done at 3-4 month intervals.
A recent study done at the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) has shown that patients who’ve received Botox cosmetic injections for at least 2 years can decrease the frequency of the injections to every 6 months and still receive most of the same wrinkle-smoothing cosmetic benefits.
This shows that patients can benefit from achieving good results with longer treatment intervals and ultimately at a lower overall treatment cost.
The research also demonstrated that Botox injections have a wrinkle preventing – or prophylactic – effect. Patients who begin receiving injections between their 30s and 50s are able to prevent wrinkles from forming aside from eliminating existing wrinkles.
