Botox
Botox is a natural, purified protein that is used medically to treat certain muscular conditions and is used cosmetically for treating lines and wrinkles caused by muscle movements. In this procedure, small injections are placed in the frown lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, deep forehead lines, chin, neck, jawline, and lines around the mouth to relax the muscles and erase these lines. Botox may also be injected in the underarms and palms in individuals who sweat excessively in these areas. Botox is also known to improve the appearance of facial scars.
What are the Benefits
Botox is one of the most popular anti-ageing aesthetic treatment. It not only reduces fine lines and wrinkles but also sharpens the jaw line giving your face a slimmer and a shaper look. It works wonders for open pores and acne scars.
How does it work?
Botox treatment takes around 10 minutes to perform and is not as painful as the needle is very fine.
The toxin is injected into a few specific points based on what concerns you may have and what our dermatologist may recommend. An anaesthetic agent may or may not be required.
Optimising results
After your treatment, it will take a few days for you to start to notice the effect, and it can take up to two weeks for it to show full effect.
Effect of Botox lasts between three to six months.
