BOTOX is the commercial name of botulinum toxin type A. Until now it was impossible to remove these wrinkles, even in people who have had eye surgery, face and / or face lift or other facial treatments; Ie BOTOX complements and optimizes the results of classic facial treatments and in young or middle-aged people, with this technique alone can achieve spectacular results.
The treatment consists of a single application of BOTOX (substance derived from the botulinum toxin) in the areas to be treated. It is done in the office, it is ambulatory, it does not require anesthesia since it is not very painful and allows to carry out the daily activities normally.
How does it work?
BOTOX® inactivates the muscle that produces wrinkles (chemical denervation). It is not a filler, so if there are already wrinkles at rest, they will not disappear. Using BOTOX® in very small doses, injecting them directly into the specific muscle, will only paralyze the action of said muscle. Therefore, the problem as a tic, spasm or frown will disappear.
How is BOTOX® applied?
It is applied by injecting it with an ultra-fine needle directly into the muscle that causes the wrinkle to form. Once the muscle is paralyzed, it will not be able to shrink and the wrinkle will disappear.
How long does the procedure last?
Approximately 10 to 15 minutes, does not require anesthesia, is not painful, does not merit disability.
How long does the effect last?
It initiates the effect in five to six days after its application and remains approximately of 3 to 5 months. After this time, the action will gradually decrease. If BOTOX® is injected again, the action of the muscle will be inactivated again, causing it to gradually atrophy.
What wrinkles does it eliminate?
It is used in areas with active wrinkles: hen's legs, neck bands, brow wrinkles, frontal wrinkles, wrinkles on the upper lip. It does not need anesthesia and the result is that the wrinkles disappear when the muscles do not work.
What risks does your application have?
It is worth clarifying for fearful people that there are no risks of harmful effects, since it would be necessary to place 100 times the necessary dose to be harmful. Finally, BOTOX® is the first technique of choice in men for the simplicity of its application, the natural of the result and the immediate reincorporation to its usual tasks.
What care should I take after its application?
After application of BOTOX®, the first 4 hours following infiltration should:
• Avoid touching or massaging the area where the infiltration occurred.
• Avoid makeup on infiltrated areas.
• Remain upright.
• Avoid physical exercise.
• After these first few hours there is no other care you should take into account. You can perform your life normally.
