With the arrival of summer when the sun\u2019s rays fall with greatest intensity, we contract our face muscles to protect us from its radiation. Coincidentally, these are the same face muscles that create wrinkles, which can be treated and prevented with the application of botulinum toxin or botox. The wrinkles that become more pronounced with the contraction of these muscles are: those between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow\u2019s feet. They coincide with the wrinkles that are produced when we try to protect ourselves from the sun.<\/p>\n
With the application of botox in the requisite places these muscles relax and in turn relax the facial expression. In this way we avoid these wrinkles getting worse by stopping them from forming during the time that the botox is taking effect, which is about 6 months. This preventative effect occurs when the treatment with botox is carried out at any time of the year, although it\u2019s true that now in the summer is when we tend to get more of these previously mentioned wrinkles forming (and therefore, further developing the wrinkles that these create) due to the intensity of the sun and the longer time we spend outdoors.<\/p>\n
