What is Botulinum Toxin
A Botulinum Toxin procedure involves the injection of a small amount of the drug into specific muscles or areas of the face. The Botulinum Toxin works by blocking the nerve signals to these muscles, which causes them to relax and reduce the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines.
What to expect?
The expected results of a Botulinum Toxin procedure are a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. The effects of the treatment typically become noticeable within a few days, and the results can last for 3-4 months. After the procedure, it is recommended that patients avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for a few hours to prevent the Botulinum Toxin from spreading to unintended areas. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours after the procedure. To maintain the results of the Botulinum Toxin treatment, patients should avoid sun exposure, wear sunscreen, and avoid smoking, as smoking can accelerate the aging process and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. It is also recommended to schedule follow-up appointments with the clinician to ensure that the results are maintained and to receive additional treatments as needed. By following the recommended aftercare and scheduling regular follow-up appointments, patients can achieve the best possible results from their Botulinum Toxin treatment.
