Botox & Dermal Fillers
Botox Injections
Botox injections belong to a group of medications that involve the administration of different forms of botulinum toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum, which is a largely inactive and non-toxic microbe associated with botulism food poisoning. Although Botox is a dangerous poison, it also has many useful applications. It is used as a medical treatment for particular muscular conditions, as well as the cosmetic removal of wrinkles and fine lines and softening of facial features by briefly paralyzing the underlying muscles. In fact, Botox is considered the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment.
Botox Shots are also used to treat other issues
-
Chronic migraines - Botox injections can help reduce the frequency of migraines for people who experience them 15 or more days a month
-
Muscle contractures - Cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions can cause your limbs to pull inwards towards the center. Administering Botox injections can help to relax these contracted muscles
-
Overactive bladder - Botox injections can help to reduce urinary incontinence resulting from an overactive bladder
-
Lazy eye - Mostly caused by an imbalance in the muscles that control the positioning of the eye
-
Eye twitching - Botox injections can help relieve twitching or contracture of muscles around your eye
-
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) - This condition causes you to sweat even when you’re not hot or exerting yourself. Botulinum toxin shots can help to keep it under control
-
Repetitive neck spasms (cervical dystonia) - This is a painful condition where your neck muscles contract involuntarily, causing your head to turn or twist into an uncomfortable position
What to expect?
Botox injections work by blocking specific chemical signals that are responsible for muscle contractions. This results in the temporary relaxation of the underlying muscles that cause:
-
Forehead furrows
-
Crow's-feet - the lines spreading out from the corners of your eyes
-
Frown lines - that form between your eyebrows
Post Botox Treatment
You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after the procedure. However, you should avoid massaging or rubbing the treated areas as this may cause the toxin to shift to a different area. The results of your Botox treatment should be visible a couple of days after the treatment, with the treatment lasting about 3 months depending on the problem being treated. To preserve the results, the doctor will create a schedule for more regular injections. Successful Botox injections will help you to not only look younger, but also more relaxed and rejuvenated. It can also help to slow down the appearance of frown, smile, and worry lines.
