What is Botox treatment?
Botox is a drug that weakens or paralyzes muscle. In small doses, it can reduce skin wrinkles and help treat some muscle conditions. Botox injections are probably best known for reducing skin wrinkles. Botox can also help treat crossed eyes, eyelid spasms, excessive sweating, and some bladder disorders.
How Botox injections work
A wrinkle in the skin is typically formed perpendicular to a contracting muscle located directly beneath it. For example, the muscle in the forehead is a vertical muscle, and when it contracts (such as when you raise your eyebrows), the lines that form (wrinkles) will be horizontal. Likewise, the two muscles that are responsible for the frown lines are positioned slightly horizontally between the eyebrows, so when they contract, the frown lines appear vertical.
Botox Cosmetic is injected into muscles, where it blocks nerve impulses to those tissues. The muscle activity that a cause the frown lines is reduced and a smoother look results. Without a contracting muscle beneath it, the skin has a difficult time wrinkling. Facial lines that exist when your face is totally relaxed are not very good candidates for Botox. These lines are better handled by the dermal fillers. Botox can frequently "soften" these lines but not always get rid of them. The injections take about 10 minutes, and you should have no downtime afterward.
Highly experienced practitioners at London Beauty spot use Botox anti wrinkle injections that are a natural, purified protein used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. This injectable treatment is an established brand name and can also be used to treat conditions like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), a wide jaw, and even for calf slimming.
The botox does not move from the treated muscle and affect other areas of the face, so you can still smile and frown but in so doing won’t cause wrinkles. In the lower face, botox can be used to improve marionette lines, gummy smiles. Platysmal bands in the neck (turkey neck) also respond to treatment with this injection.
Treatments are available to men and women with the procedure taking 15 – 20 mins. Discomfort is minimal, leaving you able to return to your daily routine immediately. Slight bruising may occur afterwards. Results will be seen 24 – 72 hours after treatment and are maximal after 1-2 weeks. Effects generally last for 4 – 6 months. With repeated treatments, you may find that lines and wrinkles in those areas become less deep, and you can leave longer intervals between treatments.
