In the last few years, conversations about Botox have become lot more common as more women and men are looking for a way to recapture a youthful glow. Botox can smooth facial wrinkles and give you more confidence in your appearance. Here’s your introduction to Botox.
## It Doesn’t Change Your Face
Before getting Botox, you might wonder how much Botox will change your face. The truth is that Botox doesn’t lead to drastic change. You’re still you, and you won’t have to contend with any drastic or unwanted transformation. 
## You’ll Notice the Difference
Even though your family and friends won’t notice a major change in your face, you’ll notice the difference. Botox smooths wrinkles and erases fine lines, giving you more youthful-looking skin. Every time you look in the mirror, you’ll love the differences you see. Those wrinkles you obsessed over are gone, and in their place you’ll see smooth, glowing skin.
## Botox Isn’t Painful
If you’ve been scared to try Botox because you’re worried about the pain, you need to know that Botox isn’t painful. Botox injections are done with tiny needles to reduce discomfort. You will feel a prick or a slight tingling, but it doesn’t hurt. 
## Botox Treatments Only Take Minutes
Botox injections don’t take long. In fact, most treatments last only 5 to 10 minutes depending on your treatment goals. From start to finish, at-home Botox treatments last only 20 minutes. That’s all it takes to have smoother skin and more confidence in your appearance.
## You’ll Notice the Result is a Few Days
You won’t notice a change immediately after treatment. It usually takes 2 to 3 days for the Botox to settle into your facial muscles and smooth wrinkles. You’ll see the full effect in about 2 weeks. Botox lasts anywhere from 3 to 6 months. As the Botox wears off, you’ll start to see some fine lines and wrinkles creeping back across your face. 
## Botox Doesn’t Cause More Wrinkles in the Future
Botox won’t make your muscles sag or cause more wrinkles in the future. Here’s how it works. Botox relaxes the muscles on your face, so they don’t move as much. This prevents the skin from stretching and can smooth and even prevent wrinkles that form when the skin loses it’s elasticity. The long-term effects of Botox can help these muscles relax even after Botox has worn off, so you’ll have fewer wrinkles in the future, not more. 
## Botox is For Everyone
Botox is a safe treatment option, and most women and men will benefit from Botox injections. The ideal age to start Botox varies a lot from person to person. The best time to get Botox is when you notice fine lines appear on your face, and before these fine lines become deep wrinkles. Getting Botox at this stage can smooth these fine lines with a low dose. It relaxes the targeted area and prevents deep wrinkles from forming.
