BOTOX is a natural and purified protein that relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles and create a rejuvenated appearance. The active ingredient of BOTOX treatment comes from a bacteria. Scientists manufacture BOTOX in sterile laboratory conditions. BOTOX is a prescription-only medicine and this treatment is only available through qualified medical professionals.
How does Botox treatment work?
We use BOTOX to relax specific facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (the wrinkles formed during facial expression). Once the muscles relax, you cannot contract them, preventing undesired facial expressions. Thus, the lines gradually smoothen and it prevents the formation of new lines.
Will I able to make facial expressions?
Although the results are visible, a treatment with BOTOX will not radically change your facial appearance or make you look as if you’ve had work done.
What does Botox treatment involve?
BOTOX treatment is non-surgical procedure where a trained doctor administers a small amount of BOTOX into the selected facial muscles using a very fine needle.
Generally, a BOTOX treatment takes around 10 minutes. Discomfort is brief, and the patients may not require an anaesthetic. The injection may sting for a few seconds. You can resume normal activities very soon.
The dose recommended for the treatment will vary depending on your individual situation and the severity of your lines. Your dermatologist will know the best dose for you, and which muscles to inject and give you the best results.
How long does Botox treatment last?
The effect can last up to four months before the lines slowly begin to return. If you have repeat treatments, the effect tends to last longer.
How quickly can I see the difference?
Within three days you may notice a softening in the appearance of your frown lines, between your brows, and it takes up to seven days to see the full results. The area continues to improve for up to a three-month period.
