How Botox treatment works

If you want the muscles to move properly, a neurotransmitter should signal the muscle to move and the nerve produce this signal. So, Botox or botulinum toxin relaxes your muscles to flatten out the wrinkles.

Botox inhibits muscle from shifting by depleting the neurotransmitter. It can prevent muscles from moving and reduce wrinkles created through facial expressions.

Masseter Botox for wider jawline

A wide and square jaw in women may be seen as a unattractive or masculine trait. Some women are born with large jaw bone while others develop square jaw by over-developing their masseter or chewing muscle. This happens through habits such as excessive chewing gum or teeth grinding. When a wide jaw happens due to oversized masseter, we use Botox for muscle relaxation and creating softer and less square look to the jaw.

Botox for crow’s feet

Crow’s feet or smile lines are wrinkles which happen around the eyes corners. They are among the first signs of ageing though certain factors such as smoking and damage to skin have a large part. Crow’s feet begin to form when the collagen levels begin to decline due to age.

Botox for gummy smile

A gummy smile usually occurs due to overactive elevator muscles in the upper lip for pulling the lip up in extreme fashion when a person speaks or smiles. This makes the sufferer feel self-conscious, though luckily it is an issue that may be addressed with Botox effectively.

Botox for teeth grinding

Teeth grinding or bruxism, is unconscious teeth clenching which occur during waking and sleeping hours. It may be the reason for physical pain such as headaches and jaw soreness. It is the major source of dental problems such as worn out enamel, chipped teeth and tooth sensitivity.

Botox for frown lines

Anti wrinkle treatment for the lines was using Botox and is among the most popular applications today. Frown lines, or bunny lines or glabellar lines are vertical furrows between the eyebrows which are typically shaped like number 11. Skin loses its natural elasticity with age due to the breakdown of elastin and collagen. But improper diet, damage from sun rays, smoking, expressive face all lead to the formation of frown lines. Treatment involves careful placement of Botox to relax muscles used for smoothing out, frowning the furrows and creating happier and relaxed looking expression or reducing wrinkles appearance.

Botox for forehead lines

Botox is known for the treatment of lines on the forehead. It is very effective on horizontal furrows or vertical lines across the forehead. It may cause wrinkles with repeated raising of the eyebrows. Age, very expressive face, genetics, sun damage and smoking might affect how soon the lines develop and how deep they have become. Botox usually works with frontalis muscle relaxation which is responsible for forehead wrinkles thus, creating smoother and youthful appearance.

What are the side effects of Botox®? 

There are some side effects to every cosmetic method but with Botox injections, these are extremely rare. The common side effect from Botox injection is bruising in the injection area which occurs in around one in every ten treatments. Some rare side effects are the following:

• Allergic reaction
• Dropping of upper eyelid
• Headache
• Nausea

Is Botox a safe option?

When considering Botox safety, it is necessary to select a licensed and experienced healthcare professional for the treatment. Administration, dosage, proper consultation and strict adherence to safety guidelines have a vital role in mitigating possible risks with Botox treatment. Besides, Botox should be done in a clinical setting only for ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and safety. As Botox is a prescribed drug, we suggest seeking the help of a Botox professional who holds a GDC, NMC or GMC license.

Are the results for Botox instant?

With Botox injections, individuals will be able to be hopeful of visible improvements into their skin. Changes will be apparent in around 3–4 days post-treatment though not immediate. The full treatment affect begins at day 14 by rendering the full impact for a refreshed and rejuvenated look.

Are Botox and Fillers the same?

No, Botox is a drug used for preventing movement of muscle in treating wrinkles and fine lines. Filler is a gel like substance injected to mimic loss of volume in the face for restoring the lost volume. Botox is an injection quite similar to filler but it treats different concern and is a different kind of injection.

Will Botox help to get rid of your frown lines?

Yes, Botox has been approved for the treatment of frown lines according to the FDA. It is a popular treatment for relaxing deep horizontal lines running across the forehead. It relaxes frown lines and surrounding muscles for smooth skin and soften the forehead lines. It is not a permanent solution and needs retreatment in 3-4 months.

How long will Botox last?

The treatment for Botox lasts between 3 months to 4 months. The results in the longevity differ as the movement gradually returns back. Botox is not permanent and muscle movement does return if not retreated.
