What is Botox?
Botulinum Toxin populalry known by the name of ‘Botox’ is a purified form of
protein. It is a neurotoxin which is generated by the bacterium called
‘Clostridium Botulinum’. This toxin is sold under different brand names in
addition to botox such as Dysport, Xeomin etc.
Botox got FDA approval for treating ageing
concerns in 2002. Before that, it was
administered off-label for treating the signs of ageing including lines and
wrinkles. Now, Botox London
is the most highly demanded and performed non-surgical cosmetic treatment used
for treating mild-to-moderate and severe
dynamic wrinkles between the brows, on the forehead and around the eyes corners
called ‘crow’s feet’. Botox London treatment gives outstanding results in
eliminating the most prominent signs of ageing among men and women, alike.
How Do Botox works?
As Botox
is a neurotoxin, it induces paralysis of muscles by blocking the signals
transmitted by the brain through the nerves to the muscles. The target muscles,
in which Botox is injected, stop their
contraction which causes the wrinkles on the surface of the skin to disappear.
The muscle goes in a relaxed state for a certain period of time which softens and removes
the surface wrinkles and lines.
How Botox Treatment Procedure is Performed?
The procedure of Botox London treatment is
simple and quick. The botox injections procedure for improving ageing concerns
combines both the science and art which should only be performed by a trained
and experienced cosmetic practitioner or healthcare professional.
A human face has 43 muscles so it is
necessary for the injector performing Botox London treatment to have the knowledge and in-depth understanding of the
facial anatomy and pinpoint the location of muscles. Only then the botox
treatment can be optimized to achieve highly effective outcomes with minimal
side effects.
During the treatment, the injector uses a
very fine small needle to inject small quantities of Botox into the target
muscles. The botulinum toxin is only injected into the wrinkle-causing muscles
which weakens them and gradually stops their function. This helps to preserve
your natural expressions of face preventing frozen face appearance. The botox
London treatment procedure just takes 15-20 minutes depending on the skill of
the injector and the areas that require treatment.
Number of required Botox injections
The requirements of botox injections depend
on the facial features as well as on the extent and condition of wrinkles. For
instance, the crow’s feet or area around the corners of your eyes generally
requires 2-3 injections while forehead wrinkles take around 5 or more
injections. The number of Botox London
injections required for treating facial wrinkles also varies with gender. Males
have stronger facial muscles as compared to females so they may need more
injections to put them in a relaxed
state.
Recovery and downtime
A topical numbing cream or anaesthetic may
be applied to the areas where Botox London
injections are to be administered. There is little to no downtime for the
treatment. It is possible to resume the routine activities after the treatment
however it is advisable to take rest for 24 hours following the procedure. You
should not rub or massage the treated areas after botox injections as it might
move the substance to other facial areas resulting in temporary weakness of
other facial muscles or drooping.
Risks and side effects
Generally, botox London treatment is
considered safe when it is done by an experienced cosmetic injector. There are
few side effects which are temporary in nature which include the following:
·
Bruising
·
Swelling and redness
·
Nausea
·
Temporary weakness of facial
muscles
·
Headache
These side effects disappear in a few hours or may take a day or two to recover
from.
Expected results
The results may take few days to become fully visible. The final
results of Botox London treatment last
for almost 3-4 months after which you again need to undertake the injections
because once the effects of Botox wear off, the muscle movements and resulting
wrinkles return.
