Botulinum toxin  ( Botox – Dysport )

Botulinum toxin  ( Botox ) is for wrinkles, an effective treatment of plastic surgery. The application of botox toxin either prevents the formation of wrinkles or treats their existence, mainly on the forehead, middle eyebrow and wrinkles around the eyes (goose foot) and neck. It can also be applied to the cheeks for aesthetic reasons. Specifically applied to the muscle massager to change the angles of the face.

When to start Botox

In general, treatment with botox begins after the age of 30. It is recomended not to delay the start of treatment too long. It is the only substance to prevent the formation of wrinkles. If the wrinkles settle and become deep, then their treatment becomes different.

All the research that has been done on botulinum toxin, even 10 years in leading medical centers, states that it is completely safe without side effects.

Other uses of Botox

In specialized cases, botox is used for other conditions such as migraines, symptomatic treatment of Bell’s palsy, facial asymmetry and neck bands. For many years now, it has been considered the treatment that is enjoyed more than any other by modern women and many men. In addition to application in the aesthetics of the face and neck, it is also used to reduce sweating (Hyperhidrosis), usually in the armpits, palms and soles.

In addition, its application is common in patients with paralysis of the facial nerve or its branches. In this case it aims to restore the symmetry of the face. It takes minimal time to apply the treatment (15΄-20΄) and it looks absolutely nothing as the needle we use is less than 30G in diameter.

The duration of Botox 

The duration of the effect of the treatment depends on the size of the muscles and the dilution made by the doctor. The botulinum toxin must be diluted with 2.5ml of saline to have the desired duration of 4-6 months. Depending on the doctor’s knowledge of anatomy, one can get a glowing skin without wrinkles but also a completely natural result without the face looking icy and expressionless.
