The botulin toxin is synthesized in natural way by a specific kind of bacteria. It is successfully performed on forehead lines, crow's feet (lines around the eye) and frown lines.
The botulin toxin is injected by very fine needle in specific muscles through several light pricks. The Botox temporarily blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle cannot contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. That prevents the appearing of new wrinkle and the deepening of already existing ones for a certain period of time. Immediately after the procedure care must be taken to keep the head upright for about 4 hours and avoid massaging the treated area, so that the Botox affects only the desired areas. You can contribute to achieving a better result by contracting and stretching the treated muscle, making mimics within the first 120 min. Usage of cosmetics is not recommended up to 24 hours after the procedure.
It generally takes 3 to 14 days to take full effect. Temporary bruising is the most common side effect. Headaches, which resolve in 24 hours can occur but this is rare.
The effects from Botox will last six months. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are being trained to relax. After the next application of botulin toxin the durability effect is about 8 months. There is no limitation in the number of procedures. If you do not continue injecting with botulin toxin the wrinkles will re-appear.
The procedure takes place in ambulatory conditions, it lasts only a few minutes, it is painless and no anesthesia is required.
