Botox can smooth away wrinkles and erase fine lines. It’s an amazing treatment option that helps you look and feel your best. But how do you know if Botox will work for you? If you haven’t tried Botox yet, here are a few things to think about
## Types of Wrinkles
There are several types of wrinkles, including dynamic wrinkles and static wrinkles.

Dynamic wrinkles form when the muscles in your face move. Repetitive movements, like smiling, frowning, or furrowing your brows can all lead to wrinkles over time. As the muscles move, the overlying skin moves too, bunching together to form lines and wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles usually form:
Around the outside corners of your eyes
Between your eyebrows
On your forehead
Around your mouth and lips

Statis wrinkles have nothing to do with your muscles. This kind of wrinkle is caused by sun damage, poor nutrition, smoking, and even as part of the normal aging process. Static wrinkles can appear:
Around your mouth or jaw
At the inside corners of your eyes
On your cheeks
On your neck

Botox is a great treatment option for dynamic wrinkles, but it will not improve the appearance of static wrinkles.
## Muscle Type
The muscle type will also make a difference when using Botox to reduce wrinkles. Some muscles are larger and stronger than others. Botox may be less effective for wrinkles caused by larger muscles. In larger muscles Botox will break down faster, so you’ll need injections more often to maintain your results.
## Depth of Wrinkles
The type of wrinkles and muscles isn’t the only thing you need to consider. The depth of your wrinkles also matters. If you have fine lines along your forehead, Botox can smooth away these wrinkles or even make them disappear. But if you have deep creases between your brows, Botox may not completely erase the wrinkles. Deeper wrinkles are the result of years of repetitive movement. Relaxing the muscles can improve deep wrinkles, but they may not disappear completely. 
## Botox for Dynamic Wrinkles
If you have dynamic wrinkles, Botox can help. Botox is injected into the muscles of your face, not your skin. It relaxes muscles to reduce muscle activity and prevent bunching of the skin. In about two weeks, you’ll notice a huge change, as the wrinkles soften or disappear. 
## How Long Does Botox Last?
Botox for dynamic wrinkles lasts anywhere from three to six months. If you’re treating crow’s feet, Botox may wear off faster because this muscle is very active. But if you’re getting Botox for forehead wrinkles, the results may last longer. Your metabolism can also impact Botox results. If you have a fast metabolism, your body may break down Botox faster, so you may need to book treatments a bit more often.
