Laughing and smiling are signs that you are enjoying life. However, you may not enjoy it when your facial expressions begin to leave permanent marks on your face. Repeated muscle movements can create fine wrinkles called smile lines or crow’s feet to develop around the eyes. Botox® injections for smile lines treatment is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that can smooth fine lines and wrinkles to help you look younger.

How Botox for Smile Lines Treatment Works

Botox for smile lines treatment is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that temporarily freezes muscles through injections. Normal activities can be resumed after the procedure, but you may want to avoid strenuous activities for a day or two. You could experience some redness, bruising and swelling for a few days after treatment. Maximum results are noticeable within two weeks and will continue to improve. You will need to get treatments every three to six months to maintain results. Botox injections can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to enhance your facial features.

Ideal Candidates for Botox Smile Lines Treatment

If you are considering Botox for smile lines, you will need to set up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon first. Pregnant women and individuals with neuromuscular conditions are not good candidates for Botox injections. If you have deep facial lines, other cosmetic procedures may be more effective.
