Botox article: Confessions of a Botox Babe
Used safely by ophthalmologists for over 10 years, Botox has been used for wrinkle therapy since the early 1990's. A small amount of Botox is injected into the muscles responsible for making wrinkles. Botox inactivates the muscles, thereby causing lines disappear appreciably.
Some of the common areas treated include crow's feet, frown lines, laugh lines, and forehead wrinkles.

A Botox treatment is quick and results usually last three to six months. After that you may return for a follow-up injection. Some doctors report that after several treatments, the effect of Botox appears to last longer, often up to several months.

The most common complication is a slight, temporary drooping of the eyelid. Botox is used in extremely small amounts and does not spread throughout the body so you can return to full activity immediately.
Botox can be used by almost anyone, however, patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding or who have a neurologic disease should not use Botox.
