Wrinkles appearing above the mouth and around the nose are called laugh lines or nasolabial folds. There are several methods to improve these lines. And one of those methods is Botox injection.

Botox is a procedure done at the outpatient to improve wrinkles and prevent their appearance. Botox smoothes wrinkles by relaxing the muscles. With Botox, one can correct the dynamic wrinkles. These are the wrinkles that appear because of the constant muscle movement.

The effect of Botox usually lasts from 3 to 6 months, depending on the type of the product. Before the procedure, the doctor applies a numbing cream. Then, he gently injects the Botox into the smile lines.

After the procedure, one can wash their face or apply make-up in 3 hours. It is not allowed to rub or touch the procedure area.
