Botox : Ageing is associated with the development of facial lines and wrinkles, which are often unwanted and distressing to a patient. The production of these wrinkles is due to a number of different factors, which include:
|
|
Wrinkles on the
forehead frown lines between the eyebrows (glabella lines), and lines
running down from the angles of the mouth (mental lines) are of
particular concern to many patients as they not only accentuate an aged
appearance, but also impart an air of grumpiness and aggression to the
face.
These “lines of facial expression” are primarily due to the action of certain superficial facial muscles and can be reduced or eliminated by treatment with Botox. Botox is excellent for the treatment of Crows feet around the eyes, and prominent wrinkles on the neck (Platysmal Bands). What is Botox and how does it work? It produces its effect by freezing (reversibly paralysing) the target
muscles, therefore preventing them from contracting and producing skin
wrinkles. The procedure itself takes about 10 minutes, but the effect will not become apparent for 48 - 72 hours. It is very important that you do not press over the injection sites or lie down for 4 hours after the injection as this will cause the Botox to disperse to unwanted areas.

t is helpful if you try to contract your target
muscles as much as possible after injections as this increases their
uptake of Botox.
How often will I require injections? The effect of Botox is not permanent, and most people require injections at intervals of three to twelve months. However, after a few injections the target muscles may become educated not to frown, and future injections become infrequent or unnecessary. Is Botox safe? Are there any complications or side effects? Botox is an extremely safe treatment. However you should be made aware of any complications rare as they may be. In approximately 2% of cases minor temporary droop of one eyelid may occur which lasts on average only 2-3 weeks but could be a little longer. Very rarely diplopia (double vision) may result for a short time due to leakage of Botox into the eye muscles. Occasionally, transient numbness, or headache may occur. As with any medications, allergic reactions are possible, though exceedingly rare. |
