Botox Lips

Botox blocks impulses from the nerves to the muscle, causing the muscles to relax and not contract. In turn, the overlying skin becomes smoother with fewer lines and less wrinkles. Effects of the treatment are visible immediately, making Botox a quick and easy fix for wrinkle treatment and visible signs of aging.

Unlike collagen injections, Botox is primarily used to treat wrinkles. The injection of Botox into the lips will not compare to the favored creams, gels and fillers primarily used for lip plumping. However, Botox is a great solution for someone seeking line or wrinkle removal close to the lip, which will in turn plump the lips and cause them to appear fuller.

Botox is injected into the lips using a very fine needle, targeting the lip muscle group, often several times for best results.The procedure is not painful and is relatively quick. Expect the procedure to last anywhere from five to thirty minutes. Lip injections can be repeated as often as necessary, as they are only temporary. Expect that your plump pout will begin to lose its volume within two to four months.
