Botox

Botox is a prescription medicine. It can temporarily improve the appearance of moderate or severe crow’s feet. It can also improve the appearance of frown lines. This treatment is injected into the muscles by a qualified doctor. The number of units required will depend on your skin type. The desired outcome can also affect how much is used. This will be discussed and carefully planned with you.

Facts about Botox

1. Most popular cosmetic surgical treatment. More than 6 million treatments are administered each year.
2. Botox is an organism found in the natural environment. It is largely inactive and non-toxic.
3. Botox reduces wrinkles by paralyzing underlying muscles
4. Botox can also be used to treat excessive sweating, migraines, and even some muscular disorders.

How does Botox work?

It’s estimated that one gram of botulinum toxin could kill one million people. And two kilos could kill every human on Earth. However, when administered in the right dosage it has been proven to be a successful and therapeutic protein.

Botox is injected in extremely small doses. Botox effects signals from the nerve cells reaching muscles. This effectively leaves the muscles without instructions to contract. And so, paralyzing them.

How is Botox administered?

Botox is administered by diluting botulinum toxin in saline. It is then injected directly into neuromuscular tissue. The effects of this treatment can be seen 24 to 72 hours later. In very rare cases, it may take up to 5 days for results to be visible.

As with any surgical procedure it is important you have an in-depth discussion about what your desired outcome is. Part of a beautiful, confident appearance is understanding what cosmetic treatments can do for you.
