Botox injections are frequently used for many cosmetic applications. This simple and quick treatment has become more popular in the last few years, as more people want to look younger and improve their appearance. The reason for this primarily lies with how quickly the procedure can be performed, how simple the entire process is, the excellent result and the low cost associated with botox.

Botox is most often applied to the facial muscles and skin, and helps them relax, taking away fine lines and wrinkles. The three main sites most often injected are:

- Forehead wrinkles

- Crow's feet lines around the eyes

- Vertical '11' lines between eyebrows

Forehead wrinkles

These 'frown lines' are one of the most common sites for botox injection. It is natural for frown lines and wrinkles to form here because the forehead muscles are constantly being used and the skin and muscles are constantly under stress. It is considered one of the first signs of ageing, which is why this is targeted first. Forehead lines seem to be the most troublesome amongst all facial creases for patients. This simple, quick and effective treatment does not even require anaesthesia. With effects that can last up to 6 months, the crease-free look can be maintained with repeat injections.

Crow's feet lines around the eyes

Crow's feet refer to fine lines that form at the corners of the eyes due to constant muscle use. As a sign of aging, it is unfortunate yet unavoidable. Botox injections can effectively reduce these lines without giving the skin a stretched appearance, restoring the look that younger, healthier skin appears like. Crow's feet treatment is the next sought-after treatment. Effects can last for a period of up to 6 months following which additional treatments may be required, as is the case with other botox treatments.

Vertical '11' lines

The two lines between the eyebrows that form when frowning are called vertical '11' lines. Botox injections help to smooth them out effectively and reduce the depth of these lines. Performing this procedure takes 10 or 15 minutes, with excellent results.

Botox is most often injected on the face into these top 3 sites. More rare are other sites such as chin lifts and botox injections around the mouth that may be performed.

Conclusion

For excellent cosmetic results that offer younger looking skin free of wrinkles and fine lines, one of the most preferred treatments is still Botox.
