Each time we squint of frown, we tighten our facial muscles which in turn pulls our skin into a crease. This brings about the formation of forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. Other areas that may form crease include bunny lines on the nose and chin creases. As time goes by, the chronic use of these muscles may result in permanent lines etched into the skin that is present with or without muscle movement.
Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, an anesthetic cream may be used to numb the discomfort of a Botox treatment. The procedure takes minutes to perform and the optimum effect is apparent within 7 days. To prevent lines from reappearing, a simple touch-up treatment two to three times a year is recommended.
