What is botulinum toxin type A?
Botulinum toxin type A is an injectable neurotoxin known by brand names such as Botox Cosmetic®, Neuronox®, Masport, Dyston, Xeomin®, and Dysport. Botox is used to smooth out active wrinkles or wrinkles that result from facial movements such as frowning, squinting, smiling, and other expressions that we tend to make.
The treatment works by blocking the nerve endings to the muscles, causing them to become inactive. As a result, active wrinkles are greatly reduced.
What types of wrinkles can be treated with Botox injections?
Botox injections can help adult patients of any age improve their appearance, not only giving you a younger look, but also helping you look fresher and better. The most common areas that are treated include the following areas:
- Glabellar lines (or frown lines)
- Wrinkles around the eyes, such as crow’s feet
- Forehead wrinkles
Some people think that botox injections are the same as manicures or haircuts. Although injection is non-surgical, injection is a medical procedure that requires special training, knowledge and skill to perform safely and effectively.
Pre-treatment consultation:
During the consultation, the dermatologist evaluates the desired area and reviews your medical history. Although the risk of major complications is low for most patients, it is still important to tell your doctor your full medical history, as certain allergies, skin and nerve conditions, or medications can make the treatment unsuitable for the patient.
Before the treatment, you will be given a local anesthetic to numb the area before the injection, although many patients receive Botox injections without anesthesia, as the needles used to inject Botox are very thin and the injections are not very deep.
You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment. Slight redness, swelling at the injection site, and bruising are the most common side effects.
After treatment, you will not see results immediately. So don’t worry if the treatment didn’t work. Depending on the patient, the product used and the area being treated, final results are usually 3 to 14 days after the initial treatments.
How long do the results last?
The wrinkle reduction effects of Botox vary depending on the patient, the area being treated, and the product used, but results usually last between 3 and 6 months for most brands.
Other uses of Botox:
While Botox is most commonly used to treat facial wrinkles, dermatologists can also use Botox to address other aesthetic concerns related to nerve and muscle activity:
- Reduce excessive sweating: Botox injections can be used to interrupt the nerve impulses that activate sweat glands, helping to reduce the embarrassment of excessive sweating in the axilla, hands, or feet.
- Improve neck wrinkles. If prominent wrinkles on your neck bother you, Botox can be used to relax the muscles responsible and give your neck a smoother, softer appearance.
- Botox injection is very helpful in preventing migraine attacks.
Botox injections by an experienced and qualified dermatologist provide skin rejuvenation with a natural appearance in a safe and comfortable way with no recovery period. The best way to find out if you are a good candidate for Botox injection or not is to go to a dermatologist, hair and beauty specialist for a visit and consultation.
