BOTOX
Botox is a medication injected into muscles in order to temporarily smooth crow’s-feet around the eyes and frown lines and other lines on the forehead. Botox is known as a lunchtime procedure—the actual injections take only 10 minutes. That said, results generally don’t show up for 24–48 hours. Faces look noticeably smoother within a week, with optimal results showing up after a month.
