Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Botulinum Toxin, is a treatment that works by temporarily relaxing a muscle when it is injected. This is achieved by blocking nerve impulses that cause the muscle to contract, thereby preventing the formation of dynamic wrinkles. As a result, the skin overlying the treated muscles appears softer, smoother, and more youthful. Botox is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects.

Botulinum Toxin is an exceptional muscle relaxant with a long and proven record of safety. For over 20 years, it has helped patients of all ages in various medical conditions, providing them with the relief they need. The cosmetic industry has also recognized its benefits, using it to treat facial wrinkles for over a decade. Its popularity is a testament to its effectiveness, making it one of the most preferred cosmetic treatments available today. With its excellent safety record and proven efficacy, you can trust Botulinum Toxin to deliver the results you desire.

Botulinum Toxin injections are generally not painful because very fine needles are used during the procedure. Therefore, patients do not need any anesthesia. The complete treatment usually takes around 15-20 minutes to perform, and you can resume your daily activities, including driving and work, on the same day.

It is important to avoid administering Botulinum toxin type A injections to certain individuals, including those with an infection at the proposed injection site, a history of allergic reactions to such injections, muscle issues or chronic diseases affecting the muscles, children under 18 years of age, and pregnant or breastfeeding women.

The duration of time required to observe the complete effects of the initial treatment may vary between 2 to 14 days. Once visible, the cosmetic benefits can last up to six months. However, it’s important to note that the effects generally last for three to four months, after which most people may require further treatment as the wrinkles re-emerge. Nonetheless, with repeated treatments, wrinkles may reappear less severe in certain treated areas, such as frown wrinkles, as the unconscious muscle contraction habit is broken.

Most people experience only mild local pain and tenderness from the injections. Immediately after the injection, there may be slight swelling and bruising, but these generally subside within 48 hours. Although side effects are rare, in some cases, the treatment may cause temporary drooping of the eyebrow or eyelids by relaxing nearby muscle groups. This effect usually lasts for a few weeks and resolves over time. Allergic reactions to the treatment are rare, but they are possible. However, some people may experience unintended benefits such as the easing of tension-type headaches as the muscles in the forehead relax. Botox has been in use for over 20 years and does not appear to cause any negative long-term effects.

When it comes to Botulinum Toxin injections, it’s important to note that the wrinkles will return to their pre-treatment state once the effect wears off. However, you can have the treatment again after a minimum of three months, with the effects lasting longer for some individuals who have had previous treatments to the same area. You can have the peace of mind in knowing that the treatment is designed to smoothen dynamic wrinkles in your forehead and around your eyes while still maintaining your natural facial expression. The final result can be tailored to each patient and will be discussed during the initial free consultation.
