Botox is a term associated with a lot of
apprehension. It is regarded as a procedure which probably is restricted to
celebrities. However, the facts reveal a different story altogether.
Botox is one of the most common cosmetic procedures
being done in the United States. Botox continues to gain popularity in our
country as well and every year the number of procedures being done have shown a
rising trend.
This blog is aimed at providing you with a basic
information about Botox and what to expect when u do decide to get it done.
What is Botox?
Botox is purified botulinum toxin, derived from a
bacteria, Clostridium botulinum.
How does it work?
It blocks the release of a nerve transmitter (acetylcholine)
and in turn, relaxes muscles. As a result, it can smooth hyper-functional lines
and change the contour of the face and neck.
Do I need it?
Botox is the only approved treatment to temporarily
improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows
and crow’s feet lines around the eyes in adults. It can make these lines
disappear or minimize them depending on the injection technique. The overall
effect is that of a smooth and rejuvenated face.
How long does the
procedure take?
Post a thorough consultation, the procedure itself
takes just 15 mins. In addition, there is no downtime making it an ideal lunch
time procedure.
How soon can I see
the effects?
The effects begin to set in after 4-7 days. The
full effect is observed after two weeks and it is at this time that a follow-up
visit is planned.
How long does the
effect last?
The effect is not permanent and lasts for around
4-6 months.
Is my face going to
be worse when the effect wears off?
Your wrinkles and lines would go back to the way
they were earlier. There is no worsening of the lines and it is not a necessity
that you repeat the procedure.
Would I have a mask
like face?
In our country, unlike the western world, we prefer
to preserve a bit of expression lines. Accordingly, the dosages injected are
minimal and a mask like face is avoided.
Are there any side
effects?
Side effects are very rare and transient. In a few
cases, minimal bruising can occur which lasts for around 4-7 days.
So in case you are contemplating going for this
therapy, we sincerely hope that this post has addressed a few issues.
