Important Safety Information

Line & wrinkle treatments have been used as cosmetic treatments since the late 1980's, revolutionising the cosmetic industry due to its remarkable results combined with very few risks and no recovery time. Over time, as we age, overactive muscle movement gradually wears away the collagen in the skin, causing the skin to crease and wrinkles to appear. Line & wrinkle treatments relax these muscles, preventing the formation of wrinkles and smoothing out lines. Line & wrinkle treatments work only on the specific muscles injected, leaving surrounding muscles to function as usual, enabling normal facial expression, just with less wrinkles. Lines & wrinkles can be mimimised by using a purified protein produced by Clostridium Botulinum bacteria (BOTOX) which induces long-term relaxation of contracted muscles. This product was originally used to treat eye spasms and central nervous system disorders. It is used.

# For treating deep wrinkles which appear as frown lines between the eyes, forehead lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

# For correcting the asymmetry of eyebrows.

# For treating excessive perspiration in underarms and face (Hyperhidrosis).

Could this be what you?ve been looking for?

a procedure that can smooth those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows with no surgery and no recovery time.

How does BOTOX work? The repeated contractions over time can cause lines and wrinkles in the skin attached to those muscles. BOTOX? Botulinum Toxin Type A, blocks the release of acetylcholine so the muscle doesn't receive the message to contract. Once the muscles are unable to contract, the skin has less of a stimulus to wrinkle and can becomes smoother.

How is BOTOX administered?

BOTOX? is injected into the muscles being treated with a very fine needle. This must be administered by a licensed physician or a nurse certified in the procedure.

Does the treatment hurt?

Patients have reported slight temporary discomfort from the procedure in the area of injection. The treatment is very quick and involves a minor sting for only a few seconds.

When does BOTOX start to work?

The results of Botox treatment will start to appear within 24 to 48 hours. The maximal effect occurs within 2 to 7 days. Gradually, over 3 to 5 months, the muscles will regain their ability to contract.

How long does the effect last?

Results will vary from patient to patient but typical results show the effect to last from 6 to 9 months. Some patients have shown results up to a year. The effects vary depending on individual circumstances such as age, skin and area being treated.

How long does the BOTOX injection take?

The treatment takes only a few minutes.

What are the side effects of BOTOX? treatments?

BOTOX injections are very well tolerated. BOTOX injections have been shown to actually have an unusual positive "side effect". According to two studies presented at the 1999 annual meeting of The American Association for the Study of Headache in Boston, injecting Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) into the muscles of the forehead can reduce the frequency of migraines in both men and women. The need for pain medication was reduced or eliminated in most patients.

Complications of Botox?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued statements warning of the possible hazards of "Botox parties." Whether used to treat medical conditions such as blepharospasm or strabismus or cosmetic concerns such as furrow lines, a Botox injection is a medical procedure that should be performed in a controlled medical environment. According to the FDA, administering this treatment during a cocktail party greatly diminishes the gravity of this medical procedure. There is always a risk of adverse reactions or side effects after a Botox injection, so patients need to be in a medical setting that is equipped to handle an emergency situation. And, the ingestion of alcohol at or around the time of injection could worsen any bruising at the injection site.

Some common complications of botox are:

# Temporary Bruising headaches (usually go away within 24 to 48 hours).
# Eyelid Drooping

Adverse Effects Botox injections have not been shown to permanently change your muscles or cause any long-term problems. The side effects of Botox? injections are usually exactly what the therapy is supposed to cause: muscle weakness. It's crucial to inject into the right muscle with the appropriate dose. Finding an experienced physician is of utmost importance, as many complications are the result of misplaced injections or too-large doses.
