Smokers are often aware of the negative effects of smoking. Outside of the risks of wrinkles, disease, and even dental health, smoking does have another surprising effect when it comes to Botox.
Many smokers who consider Botox do so because of the wrinkles that have developed as a result of smoking, but will find that Botox might not be the right solution for them. This is what you need to know about smoking and Botox.
Smoking Reverses Benefits
To begin with, if you have already received Botox injections and you are a smoker, smoking will shorten the results of your Botox. While it […]
While Botox is best-known for helping battle wrinkles, it actually can help out with other conditions as well. Botox is a neurotoxin that temporary blocks the nerve signal to the wrinkled areas, giving the skin a chance to recover.

Botox is the real alternate to the fabled fountain of youth, but you will be mistaken if you think that Botox is only for those who want to hide signs of aging.
In reality, Botox is used to treat a number of medical conditions. Let’s leave wrinkle free treatments behind, and find out what North America’s No. 1 cosmetic procedure can cure apart from treating frown lines and crow’s feet.
1) Depression
Your facial expressions reveal more than just your mood, they can actually regulate it. When Botox is used to relax the muscles, it also reduces certain tell-tale signs of depression, which help […]
Fine lines and wrinkles do not discriminate between men and women. Facial changes are something that happens to everyone, regardless of your gender, so it makes sense that men would be more aware of the options to help combat these signs of aging. While women may have been more socially open about receiving Botox injections to help eliminate any fine lines, men are also receiving the same treatment. The popularity of Botox among men is on the rise. And this is why.
Not Just for Celebrities
Some male celebrities have admitted to receiving Botox treatments in order to smooth out their skin, […]
Botox injections are without a doubt one of the easiest cosmetic procedures that you can have done. The effectiveness of Botox is remarkable and procedure is quick, but like any kind of procedure, you will need to make sure that you are following the doctor’s post-injection instructions without fail. This is what you should not do following a Botox treatment.
Working Out:
Strenuous exercise of any kind is not a good idea following a Botox treatment. You need to let the product settle for a minimum of 24 hours before continuing with your exercise regime. This is because exercise will increase your […]

Q. How does Botox® work?
Botox® is an FDA approved treatment that weakens the muscles where the injections are administered. This non surgical procedure is injected in a controlled way so that the injected muscles contract, making the wrinkles and lines on your face relax, giving you a younger and fresher look. Botox® blocks your nerve signals from reaching our facial muscles, thereby preventing your muscles from contracting. This in turn halts wrinkles, fine lines and crow’s feet from appearing on your face.
Q. How is Botox® administered?
When administered by an expert practitioner like Dr. Pirani, it is a painless process that […]
As we get older, years of frowning, worrying, laughing and smiling leave a record of the part they’ve played in our lives in the lines on our faces. That’s where injectable treatments come into their own. Currently, Botox is by far the most popular option when it comes to non-surgical intervention being taken to remove these effects of aging on our skins. This is evidenced by the nearly 6 million Botox treatments administered every year.

1) Correcting “crossed eyes”
This was the first non-cosmetic use found for Botox. Back in 1989, the FDA approved the use of Botox to correct crossed eyes. Its ability to immobilize muscles that pull the eyes out of alignment is the secret to its success, and the first time this was successfully done dates back to 1981.
2) Eliminating […]
