Botox

Overview

Botox is a popular non-surgical procedure that dramatically improves your appearance by reducing facial lines and wrinkles. Botulinum toxin commonly known as Botox blocks the signals from the nerve cells and temporarily paralyses the muscles to prevent wrinkle formation.

The Procedure

Once your skin is assessed and the target muscles identified it is cleansed and prepped. The area to be treated is marked out on your skin and Botox, a purified protein is administered into the target areas using fine needles in doses that are accordingly fitting to give the desired result. An initial minor sting may be felt, but most people find this treatment quite relaxing. Botox works by blocking nerve impulses that signal muscle contraction. By selectively interfering with the underlying muscles' ability to contract it causes the wrinkled area to smooth out and soften.

The Symptoms

You may need a Botox if you

• Suffer from moderate to severe forehead lines, frown lines or crow’s feet.

The Eligibility

The Risks Involved

Spock brow or drooping of eyelids, mild nausea, transient numbness, allergic reaction or uneven appearance are the rare complications that may arise from a Botox treatment.

The Impact

Botox has the most predictable results, taking away years from your face. Results may be noticeable within days but it often takes up to two weeks for that ‘freshly brewed’ Botox solution. However, the effect of Botox gradually wears off and treatment will need to be repeated after four months. With frequent treatments, you will notice that the effect of the Botox is longer lasting.
