San Diego, CA patients ask, 'What does Botox cosmetic injections do for your face?'
Posted By Dr. Christopher Crosby
Botox has become a household name. Most patients have heard of it, and know that it is an injection that has cosmetic benefits. However, many are not quite sure how it works, and many ask the team at Coastal Skin and Eye Institute, what does Botox do for your face?
The primary purpose of using Botox is for the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, and folds on the facial area. Botox is best for issues on the upper third of the face, including glabellar lines, crow’s feet, and forehead folds. The medication is injected into the muscles, allowing them to relax and reduce overall contractions. This results in smoothing of the skin over the course of several days, which reduces the depth and overall appearance of these imperfections.
