Botox injection
Botox (botulinum toxin) is one of the most common cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation. Botox is actually a modified form of a toxin called botulinum that prevents the skin from sagging by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles and muscles under the skin. In this case, the muscles remain motionless while receiving the reactions that cause skin wrinkles.
This toxin is prepared from Clostridium bacteria and consists of protein. Botox injections are usually performed in the upper parts of the face and make facial wrinkles disappear and prevent them from reappearing for a while. To slow down the process of aging and skin sagging, it is better to repeat the injection every 4 months.
It is important to note that the use of high-dose Botox to remove wrinkles around the lips causes paralysis of the muscles around the lips, tilting of the lips and, as a result, difficulty in speaking. Botox can also be used for the neck area, which requires a special technique, because the use of large amounts of Botox leads to respiratory paralysis. Therefore, it is better to perform this injection by a plastic surgeon to avoid unpredictable side effects.

Botox injection is a suitable option to eliminate non-deep and superficial wrinkles in the forehead area and around the eyes. Also, filler injection is used to correct wounds and deep wrinkles on the face that other methods are unable to fix and removes them permanently.
The right age for botox injections
In the past, botox was usually used from the age when forehead wrinkles and around the eyes appeared, but today, botox is performed before these wrinkles cause skin breakdown.

So it is more likely that a young woman at the age of 23 will need Botox injections to restore her sagging skin and wrinkles.
