Beside purely cosmetic purposes, Botox is used to treat various problems like: strabismus, cervical dystonia, and blepharospasm. The medical problems above are all muscle-related, and usually involve spasms. Results can usually be seen after a couple of days.

How long it lasts? Anywhere between 3 and 9 months. The effects are not lasting and require more treatment if wanted. Botox treatments are a medical procedure and should ONLY be performed by professionals. The Food and Drug Administration approved use of Botox in cosmetic circumstances in 2002.

Please ask your doctor(s) as many questions as you have on your mind. Your health should be your top priority at all times. Normal side effects after a Botox treatment can be: headaches, nausea, redness where the injection took place, some pain in the face, flu syndrome, and feeling weak in general. If any of the effects you experience last longer than your doctor told you you should contact him/her at once. FDA recommendations advise no more than 1 injection in every three months.
