Botulinum Toxin

( botox )

Unleash a more youthful you! Botox, harnessed from the robust botulinum toxin, serves as your secret weapon against wrinkles, offering rejuvenation with its popular cosmetic magic and versatile medical prowess.

Botulinum toxin, or botulinum neurotoxin (commonly called botox), is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

It works by temporarily disabling nerves so that the muscle cannot move. Botox helps to prevent wrinkles due to the fact that muscle movements lead to wrinkles.

What is BOTOX

What are the main benefits

There are many benefits of Botox. Firstly, the aesthetic benefits are that it smooths out fine lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to prevent these lines from occurring in the first place. Whilst this is a physical benefit, it can also have hugely positive psychological impacts on a person’s confidence.

How Treatment is performed

It is injected into the muscle of the area in question with a fine needle. Your beautician will usually ask you to move the muscles in that area in order to establish the place that needs injecting.

potential risks and complications

Botox is relatively safe. The main associated risk is that you can get a brow drop, which occurs when the injection into the forehead is too low and one side of the brow drops, causing asymmetry. Asymmetry can also occur in the masseter lines. Generally, however, it is a very safe procedure with very few risks when carried out by an experienced and qualified dermatologist. Long-term side effects are extremely rare.
