Botox
TURN BACK TIME WITH BOTOX FACIAL INJECTIONS
Wrinkles are born of squinting, smiling, and frowning—any facial movement—as well as time and aging. Botox/Dysport can be used to relax these muscles, preventing squinting and frowning, which improves the appearance of wrinkles and may prevent them from worsening. At this time, Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved treatments in the US for these indications, and they have been safely used for facial wrinkles since the very early 1980’s.
Botox for crow’s feet is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to smooth out the fine lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes. These lines, often caused by repeated facial expressions like smiling or squinting, become more prominent with age as skin loses elasticity. Botox works by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles. The results generally last for three to four months. Botox is ideal for those looking to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance without undergoing surgery.
Botox for the forehead is a widely used treatment to reduce the appearance of horizontal lines and wrinkles that form due to facial expressions like raising the eyebrows. Over time, these repetitive movements, combined with aging and loss of skin elasticity, can lead to noticeable creases. Botox works by temporarily relaxing the frontalis muscle in the forehead, which softens the lines and helps prevent new ones from forming. The treatment itself is quick, often taking just 10 to 15 minutes, and involves a few small injections across the forehead. Results typically begin to appear within 3 to 7 days, with full effects in about two weeks, and they usually last around 3 to 4 months. The goal is to smooth the forehead while still allowing natural expression, and when administered properly, the outcome looks refreshed rather than frozen

What to do before doing botox ?
For ten days prior to your appointment, avoid supplements or medications that make you bruise, such as medication that reduce inflammation (ibuprofen products like Advil and Brufen), as well as aspirin, green tea, vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba and Saint – John’s Worts.
However, you may take Tylenol, which does not affect blood platelet function like the others do. Purchase a product containing arnica or vitamin K, and or retinol. This can be applied after the procedure to prevent and treat bruises. On the day of your treatment, try to be as relaxed as you can. Remember, this really is easy.
We will apply a topical anesthetic cream to the treated area being treated, usually the forehead, between the brows, or the crow’s feet at the outside corners of the eyes, about twenty minutes before the treatment begins.
What to expect during the treatment?
The treatment involves injections via a tiny needle, which is about the size of an acupuncture needle. When a topical anesthetic is used first, most people don’t feel the injection. Following treatment, your skin may show a few raised bumps in the area of the injection that look like insect bites. These typically last about thirty minutes. Bruising can also occur (though this is more likely in redheads), so remember to apply the arnica or vitamin K and retinol at the first sign of bruising.
What are the side effect?
The most common side effect is bruising which can be prevented by avoiding the medications and supplements mentioned above. Treating the forehead can result in heaviness of the upper eyelids. This resolves in one week in some cases, however, it may last for the duration of the Botox / Dysport treatment. Droopiness of the eyelid (ptosis) rarely occurs after injection of the frown lines.
What to expect after the treatment?
After three days you will notice decreased movement in the treated area, it takes 10 to 14 days for the full effects to be seen. Return to see us in two weeks if you are not happy with the result. If you can make the treated area move by flexing the muscles or if you notice any asymmetry-uneven result on one side or the ability to move only on one side-the treatment hasn’t worked as it should, and you will need a retouch. Retouches are done free of cost.
Your wrinkles themselves may not completely disappear but the muscles underneath them should quit moving. It may take four to eight months without movement before the wrinkles begin to smooth out, which they will do especially if you are following the recommended skin care regimen at the same time. All patients should be using daily sunscreen Botox/ Dysport injection provide temporary wrinkles correction so expect to return for follow-up treatments every three to six months. It is better not to let the Botox completely wear off because this will help prevent the wrinkles form returning
Follow – Up Care
Patients can immediately resume all skin care products but makeup can be used 6 hours post treatment. Avoid facials, facial massage for 3 weeks, whereas steam rooms, saunas, vigorous exercise and hot showers for 4 hours because these may increase your risk of bruising.
