Botox therapy
Botulinum toxin, known in our country as Botox, is a type of neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
Botox is used for various purposes in dermatology and cosmetics. Its main application is related to its ability to temporarily relax facial facial muscles by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses.
This reduces and delays the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face, while giving a smoother, more youthful appearance.
This determines the chic application of Botox in clinical practice.
Botox therapy is most often used in aesthetic dermatology to treat the so-called dynamic wrinkles that form as a result of repeated muscle contractions. This includes forehead lines, frown lines (between the eyebrows) and crow's feet (the lines around the eyes).
Botulinum toxin also has some medical applications outside of aesthetic dermatology. It is used to treat conditions such as excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), migraine headaches, muscle spasms, certain eye disorders, etc.
The results of Botox injections are usually slightly delayed and become noticeable within a few days to two weeks after the procedure. The effect lasts for several months and varies depending on some individual factors, the treated area and the dose used. In a number of cases, supportive procedures are needed to prolong the effect. Botulinum toxin injection should be tailored to the patient's facial anatomy and the desired result. The main goal is to achieve a natural looking result where the face is not frozen or expressionless.
Before botulinum toxin injection, it is crucial to have an aesthetic consultation with a qualified dermatologist, during which your needs are assessed, recommendations are made, the nature of the procedure is explained, and potential risks are discussed.
