BOTOX®

What is BOTOX® ?

BOTOX is a popular cosmetic treatment that can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face. The active ingredient in BOTOX, botulinum toxin, works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. This can result in a noticeable improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, especially between the eyebrows, on the forehead and around the eyes. BOTOX injections are generally safe and effective, and there is little downtime required afterwards. In addition, BOTOX can also be used to treat other conditions, such as migraines and excessive sweating. As a result, it is no wonder that BOTOX remains one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available today.

How Does Botox® Work?

Botox is derived from botulinum toxin, which is a natural substance that helps to relax muscles. When injected into the skin, it temporarily reduces the activity of the muscles that are causing wrinkles. As a result, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is visibly reduced.

Patients are advised to remain upright and to avoid bending, or straining for 3-4 hours after treatment. A cold compress can be used immediately after botox injection to reduce swelling. The full effect can be seen 7-14 days after treatment. Muscle activity will begin to gradually return 3-4 months after the treatment. With repeated timely treatments, some patients have noted a slightly longer duration of action around 6 months.

How Is The BOTOX® Treatment Performed?

The treatment itself is very simple and quick. A very fine needle is used to inject small amounts of BOTOX® into the muscle. This helps to relax the muscle, which in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles. The whole process takes just a few minutes, and the results can last for several months. With regular treatments, you can enjoy long-term results that help you look and feel your best.
