Botox injections are a great way to get your face looking younger without the need for invasive plastic surgeries.  It can be done at a doctor’s office in as little as twenty minutes and generally patients are to leave shortly after.  Botox injections are becoming more and more common for this very reason.  In order to get a younger looking face, you don’t have to spend big money on other plastic surgeries to get rid of crow’s feet and frown lines, and you don’t have to wait days to recover from other procedures.

The Botox injection is done in a plastic surgeons office and will give you results immediately.  The procedure is nearly painless.  First the doctor applies a numbing gel to the site of the injection.  This helps reduce any pain that can occur when injecting the Botox.  Often the only pain patients notice is mild discomfort when the Botox is injected.  The doctor will mark several spots on the face with a special pencil so that he knows exactly where the Botox will be injected.

Botox works by blocking the nerve impulses to the muscles that have been injected.  This relaxes the muscles and keeps them from contracting like normal when squinting or frowning.  Shortly after the injection, the muscles will be paralyzed, but in a few days, the muscles will be back normal, and wrinkles on your face will be gone.  You’ll look younger and more approachable.  Having a youthful face and skin is a huge boost to confidence, and you’ll notice people looking at you in a whole new way.


Botox, or Botulinum Toxin, is a neurotoxic protein.  This means it paralyzes the nerves that transmit the impulses that tell your muscles to expand or contract.  Botox is completely safe to use, as long as you’re going to a trusted Plastic Surgeon.  It may be cheaper to go to some Plastic Surgeons, but if they’re inexperienced and not careful, there can be other complications.  That’s why it is so important to find the right doctor you can trust.Though many different types of doctors perform the Botox procedure, it’s important to find one that has extensive experience.  Since an inexperienced doctor is more likely to make mistakes, search around doctors in Pittsburgh before deciding on the right doctor for you.  A good doctor will be transparent with their patients about their history doing these procedures.  If the doctor feels like they have something to hide, it may be a good time to start being suspicious.
