Botox
The primary use of Botox is reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles. Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle can't contract. That makes wrinkles relax and soften. According to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, Botox injections are the most popular cosmetic procedure nationwide.
Botox injections are also used to treat conditions that affect how the body functions, such as chronic migraine headaches. The effects are temporary, lasting 3–5 months, depending on the type of treatment. Having Botox injected requires minimal time. You won’t need anesthesia. The provider uses a small needle to inject Botox into specific muscles with only minor discomfort.
