Botox Treatments

What is Botox?

Botox is one of the best treatments used for the correction of dynamic lines. It offers extraordinary, readily visible results. The treatment itself is safe and simple.

It is most often used to treat the following symptoms:

  • Vertical or horizontal forehead lines (glabella)
  • Lines located between eyebrows
  • Lines around the eyes and the base of the nose and
  • To prevent the formation of lines

Aside from these most commonly treated areas, Botox is used to remove lines located in particular areas of the neck and also against excessive perspiration (hyperhidrosis). Treating all of the areas at the same time tends to achieve the most impressive visual results. It is possible to work on different areas in varying doses, ranging from baby Botox system to full Botox. Applying Botox to the surface of tiny muscles, in small doses, allows for the full range of facial movement to remain unaffected and to achieve a totally natural look.

Medical application of Botox is multifaceted and has been in use for two decades. Botox is a natural, purified protein. Lack of correct information at times leads to people having unjustified fears about its use.

Botox – Treatment and Effects

The inpatient treatment is carried out clinically using local anaesthetic and lasts, depending on which area is being targeted, from 15 to 30 minutes in total comfort since very thin needles are used to inject it.

 

The effects of Botox can be noticed gradually, usually after 48 hours of application, and full effect is achieved after 5-10 days. Beneficial effects last 4-6 months. Regular application of treatments leads to less renewals of muscle activity so the effect duration lasts longer. Repeated treatments lead to the patient getting accustomed to less emphasised and strong facial movement, i.e. grimacing, and so over time the patient loses the habit of frowning, which leads to a longer lasting effect of Botox.

 

It is possible to combine Botox with other anti-ageing treatments, which together allows for a youthful look, and a refreshed and firmed facial skin appearance.
