What is Botulinum Toxin and how does it work?
Botulinum Toxin is produced by a Bacterium called Clostridium Botulinum.
It’s medically used to treat a variety of conditions, including bruxism, migraine and excessive sweating.
In aesthetics it’s used to smoothen lines and wrinkles.
Botulinum toxin works by blocking the communication between the nerves and the muscles. This results in muscle relaxation, which provides a smoother appearance of existing fine lines and wrinkles and also prevents the formation of new lines and wrinkles, by decreasing muscle movements.
What can I expect from the treatment?
Botox is a safe, effective and minimally invasive anti-wrinkles treatment that will make you look younger, in a very natural way, by significantly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
It can be used to treat several areas of the face and neck:
- Forehead lines
- Glabellar lines or frown lines
- Crow’s feet
- Eye Brow lift
- Smokers lines
- Poppy chin
- Masseter muscles for bruxism and jaw slimming
- Platysmal bands
Botox can be used in combination with other aesthetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, Microneedling, PRP and Mesotherapy.
