Botox - A Lunch-Time Treatment
|
It is the most popular wrinkle reduction treatment. It is a natural purified protein that relaxes the wrinkle causing muscles, creating a smoothened rejuvenated and a more youthful appearance. It is a simple, non-surgical procedure that smoothens the deep persistent facial lines, which develop over time.
Indications:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Crows feet
- Brow lift
- Bunny lines
- Jaw contouring
- Excessive sweating in armpits, palms and soles
How does it work?
Botox relaxes the tiny facial muscle that causes expression lines, leaving the overlying skin smooth and unwrinkled. Once the muscle is relaxed it cannot be contracted, thus the lines gradually smoothen out from disuse and new creases are prevented from forming. It does not freeze facial expressions. It softens them and natural expression is well maintained.
Procedure:
It is a lunch-time treatment and takes maximum 10 minutes. It takes 4-7 days to show the effect and the effect lasts for 4-6 months. There are no long-term side effects except for minor one such as bruising, which goes in week's time.
Thus Botox is surprisingly affordable - the same as few facials or visit to the hair colourist.
Frequently asked queries:
 How is Botox administered? Is it painful?
 Botox is administered as small injections into the wrinkle forming muscle thus relaxing it. The pain is bearable as compared to the dramatic results produced.

What are the post Botox instructions?

Can Botox be combined with other procedures?
Botox is often used in combination with filler injections, peels and skin polishing.
What are the contra-indications?

Will my lines look worse if I choose not to continue treatments?
No, Your lines will gradually revert to their pre-treatment appearance. This may take 4 to 6 months, but if left untreated the returning lines are always lesser in number.
