Botox treatment: The most popular treatment against wrinkles

The wrinkles of movement or expression that create “fatigue” on the face are due to the contractions of the facial muscles. The ideal treatment to get rid of the visible fatigue is by injecting botulinum toxin or “Botox”.

Botulinum toxin is a muscle relaxant which, when injected specifically, relaxes the muscles and makes wrinkles disappear.

The term “toxin” still makes many people afraid of possible complications on facial expressions. This belongs to the past. Today I work according to a new, internationally recognized injection scheme. The results are amazing and immediately visible.

Botulinum toxin has been used in medicine for more than 30 years to treat muscle contractions in the face. During Botox treatment, the muscles that create expression wrinkles are relaxed, the contractions become less intense and the wrinkles are eliminated. This technique is applied taking into account the naturalness of expression and preservation of a fresh, relaxed facial image without changes in facial expressions.

The drug is injected at predefined injection points, providing a safe and very effective treatment against wrinkles.

The goal of wrinkle treatment with botulinum toxin is not the disappearance of all wrinkles. On the contrary, it is necessary to maintain a small mobility so that the person does not lose his expressiveness. The therapy is oriented to the upper third of the face and in particular to the horizontal forehead wrinkles, the frown line (glabella) and the radial wrinkles in the outer corners of the eyes (“crow’s feet”). However, botulinum toxin can also correct wrinkles on the middle and lower face very well in combination with fillers.

The active ingredient for Botox treatment against wrinkles is injected intramuscularly with the help of a very fine needle. The process is almost painless. There is a slight swelling at the injection sites, which goes down after a few minutes. At the end of the treatment, there may be a slight irritation that disappears in the next few hours.

The muscles take 3-4 days to relax and the overlying wrinkles disappear. The action is local and limited only to the injected muscle. The most common regions for treatment are crow’s feet, frown lines (glabella) and the smile lines.

Botox treatment against wrinkles is contraindicated in patients with muscle diseases and in people with known hypersensitivity to neurotoxin type A complex bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. Treatment is also not indicated during pregnancy, lactation and in people taking antibiotics such as aminoglycosides or spectinomycinis.

The result reaches its full effect after the first week and is maintained for 4-6 months. Your individual metabolism has a great influence on the rate of degradation of the drug in your body. The higher your metabolism is, the more likely it is that you will need to repeat the wrinkle treatment with botulinum toxin more often.
