Botox injections are an aesthetic medicine procedure in which botulinum toxin is injected into the skin to reduce expression lines and improve the appearance of the skin. It is a safe, quick, and effective method for achieving a more youthful look.
What are Botox injections?
Daily facial movements — such as smiling, frowning, or squinting — gradually reduce skin elasticity and lead to wrinkles. Botulinum toxin (Botox) is injected into problem areas to reduce muscle activity.
As a result:
facial muscles move less;
wrinkles become less pronounced;
formation of new wrinkles slows down.
The procedure involves intramuscular injections of botulinum toxin type A.
The effect appears within 1–2 weeks and lasts on average up to 4 months (depending on individual response).
Botox is especially effective for:
dynamic expression lines;
crow’s feet around the eyes.

What problems do Botox injections address?

Botulinum toxin is also widely used in medical treatments related to excessive muscle activity:

Used as part of multidisciplinary therapy to reduce involuntary muscle spasms.
