What is Botox?  botox is a medicine used by prescription and which is injected into muscles. It is used cosmetically to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eye brows. The product has been made use of to treat wrinkles since 2005, where in its first year it treated 3.3 million people and  this product has no side effects, sometimes little or sometimes severe. When someone is planning to have Botox injected into his face, he should first refer to a plastic surgeon. The doctor will check whether he can undergo this procedure. Some people have muscle diseases that can put them at a greater risk for severe side effects.

The doctor will also show the patient where he will put the botox surgery and how he might appear when it is done. At first the doctor decides on whether numbing the area is necessary or not. This might be on the basis of patient’s comfort level or the doctors own personal opinion. During the procedure, the doctor will come to a decision on where to put the Botox based on muscle movement and placement. Tiny needles are placed into the muscles and the Botox is injected. The entire procedure takes only ten minutes and then it is over, patients simply go home after that.
