Botox
Ever since the invention of Botox in the 1980s, women and men everywhere have been obsessed with the injectable to cheat the aging process—aesthetically, at least. Botox is a neurotoxin that temporarily “prevents the communication between your nerves and your muscle” The treatment relaxes the facial muscles, resulting in smoother skin with diminished lines and wrinkles., usually for a period of 4-6 months.
The most common side effects of Botox are headaches, which are minor enough that they’re treated with over-the-counter painkillers. Awkward cases of drooping eyelids and cocked eyebrows are very rare but can happen if too much Botox is injected, or if the injection sites are poorly chosen.
Some patients will experience mild bruising following Botox injections. While this is unusual, even the most skilled injector may occasionally rupture small blood vessels during an injection. Most bruises disappear on their own within one or two days and can be covered with makeup in the meantime.
Finally, no Botox will definitely not make your wrinkles worse once the effects wear off.
