💉Botulinum toxin injection is one of the most commonly requested and done cosmetic procedure.
💉Botulinum toxin, also called “miracle poison,” works really well for dynamic wrinkles which form as we age, for example the forehead horizontal lines, the frown lines (between the eyebrows), crows feet (on the sides of the eye) etc.
💉In this procedure, the toxin is injected into the muscle which acts at the neuromuscular junction thereby temporarily paralysing the treated muscle. So when the muscle doesn’t contract the overlying skin also doesn’t wrinkle 😇
💉 When performed by trained hands it gives the face a very relaxed and calm look.
💉Commercially available common preparations include: Botox, Dysport & Xeomin etc.
⏳After getting the injection, it takes around 10-14 days for the full effect to set in.
🧘♀️Post procedure care includes: Resting and avoiding strenuous activity for one or two days and avoidance of facials and facial massage for one to two weeks after injections. This is to minimize toxins dislodging and traveling to the surrounding muscles.
🕰The weakness induced by injection with botulinum toxin usually lasts about three - four months.
🤷♀️There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding cosmetic procedures like Botulinum toxin injections.
👩🏻⚕️Talk to your dermatologist if you want to know more about Botulinum toxin injections.
