In the Forehead muscles, 10 – 30 units of Botox may be injected.
While 10 – 25 units of Botox may be injected in the muscles between the eyes. (According to data from Dr. Michele Green. MD. Cosmetic dermatologist)
• This substance goes into the body and prevents muscular spasms or contraction. In other word, the facial muscles are paralyzed, temporarily.
Thus, the muscles of the face becomes relaxed.
• A week after a Botox eye brow lift, results should be quite visible. I.e. The eyebrows should be lifted, the facial skin smoother and frown lines less visible.
With time the frown lines should disappear, completely.
