Botox
What is Botox?
BOTOX is a FDA approved non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that can temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. It is a purified protein which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.
How does Botox works?
This10-minute treatment involves microinjection of Botox into the muscle responsible for causing the line or wrinkle. As a result, the lines diminish dramatically and may disappear completely, creating a smothered, rejuvenated and more youthful appearance.
What can I expect after my Botox treatment?
Botox injection may be painless or cause mild discomfort, like the feeling of an ant bite. Improvement is seen within days and on average last up to 4 months. Individual results may vary. The benefits of the treatment are subtle, and enhance, rather than change, your natural appearance. As it has no downtime, you can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
What conditions can be treated with Botox?
Wrinkles
With Botox, you can stop wrinkles where they start-in the muscles. It can effectively reduce lines across the forehead, near the eyes and around the mouth by relaxing the muscle that cause them.
Botox Lift
Depending on the doctor’s assessment and recommendation, a series of injections can be administered to deep and/or superficial muscles, giving a non-surgical “lift” to the face and neck, elevating the eyebrows and giving you a younger, refreshed appearance. The effect of this advanced technique can last for 4-6 months.
Facial Contouring
Here Botox is used to shape and slim the face. A few carefully placed Botox injections can give you a slim and feminine jawline, so the face develops an appealing oval contour. Facial contouring can be performed during the same session as wrinkle reduction, for convenience.
Skin Rejuvenation
This advanced facial rejuvenation is done with injection of Botox into superficial layers under the skin. Facial pores are reduced in size, improving skin texture and giving a matte complexion.
Sweating Control
Excessive sweating, known as hyper-hidrosis, is a problem for some people. It is caused by over-active sweat glands and can be controlled by Botox injection into the underarms. The effect is prompt and can last for months.
Facial Balancing
This is a procedure used by skilled doctors to overcome the common problem of asymmetry, in which facial features are not balanced. In the hands of skilled doctors, Botox can restore facial aesthetic balance and enhance your appearance.
