Botox is the trade name for BotulinumToxin that works by
preventing nerve impulses from reaching the muscle, causing the muscle to relax.
Botox was first used in the 1970s to treat children's squints. Its cosmetic potential was
then recognised, and it has been used to treat wrinkles since 1990. It is now probably the
top-ranking non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the UK.
Lines and wrinkles could well be a thing of the past
and gaining the look you desire is as easy as it is quick.
How is Botox® injected?
Very small amount of Botox® are injected into the required areas using a tiny micro
needle. This acts by blocking the impulse from the nerve to the muscles, which are related
to the lines and wrinkles. The muscles are the relaxed preventing contraction.
Following the treatment with Botox® the skin over the muscles remains smooth and even
while all untreated areas continue to contract as usual. The effects last up to six
months.
Does the injection hurt?
Because the needle is so fine and such small substance quantities are used the pain is
minimal. No sedation or local anaesthesia is required. You may experience some itching
over the treated area immediately after treatment. You can resume normal activities
immediately.
Is Botox® dangerous?
No. Botox® injections have been used safely and effectively for over ten years to treat
many ophthalmological and neurological disorders. Each year thousands of patients receive
Botox® treatments for a variety of conditions and it is quickly becoming a popular
treatment for reversing the visible sign of ageing.
How long will it last?
The improvement you will achieve from the procedure will last anywhere up to 6 months.
You will notice a gradual fading of its effect at which point, you may return for a
new treatment.
The early clinical studies indicate that the duration of treatment benefits is
increased over time so that you should require injections less frequently in the future.
Also, the duration of effect varies from patient to patient and may be less effective for
those over 65 years of age.
Are there any side
effects?
Botox® is used in such small quantities that is not harmful. The most common side effects
are temporary and localised bruising, slight redness of the skin and occasionally slight
swelling at the injection site. Because the effects of Botox® are completely reversible,
any side effects are temporary, lasting only a few hours or up to one or two days.
How will I look
afterwards?
The results are amazing. it may take two to three days to see an improvement and up to one
week to see the overall effects. Then the skin will appear smooth and even showing a
youthful glowing appearance. Now you can smile again with confidence.
