As you age, your facial contour gets changed over time, losing volume and producing facial creases and lines which cannot be treated naturally or by itself.
So, if you are one of those guys who suffer from forehead wrinkles, lines around your eyes, or signs of aging due to sun damage or gravity, Botox can be your perfect treatment to restore your youthful facial skin.
What is a Botox injection?
Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can soften wrinkles and lines and relax the facial creases to get fresh and firm facial contour. Botox can treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles, using injection with a fine needle.
Are you the right candidate?
You are the right candidate for Botox injection if:
- You should be over 18 years old.
- You should be in good health.
- Your face loses its natural volume.
- You suffer from facial creases
- You want to reduce your forehead lines.
- You have crow’s feet around your eyes.
- You want to enhance your lips.
- You suffer from asymmetrical facial features.
How should I prepare for Botox injection?
There are some important instructions on how to prepare for your procedure, which you should follow carefully to make your procedure more comfortable and safer.
- Do the necessary skin and allergy tests, making sure that you are the right candidate for Botox injection.
- Stop smoking for at least one month before the procedure.
- Inform your doctor about your current medications.

What are the steps of Botox injection?
