An anti-aging injection involves administering injections of botulinum toxin type A (Botox®) to address facial lines and wrinkles, commonly referred to as wrinkle relaxant. Botox® is the leading brand name for botulinum toxin, a substance that temporarily relaxes muscles, resulting in the reduction of lines and wrinkles.

 

Forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet develop due to the continuous movement of the skin over time. In our youth, abundant collagen and elastin help the skin bounce back. However, as we age and these substances decrease, lines become static, persisting even in a relaxed state. Botox® relaxes the muscles and, consequently, the facial skin. Over time, wrinkles smooth out, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.

 

The Result 

The complete results become evident within 10-14 days, and a follow-up appointment at this point enables us to refine or enhance the outcomes if needed. The relaxed, natural, and balanced appearance, resulting in smoother, more youthful skin, typically lasts around 3-4 months.

 

Is Botox Safe?

Yes defintely. Botox has been FDA approved since 2002 for treating agening lines effectively. Like most cosmetic treatments, side effects can occur, some clients report mild bruising whilst very occasionally- approximately 1-3% – experience a ‘droopy eyelid’ both however can be corrected or will fade in time. Adverse effects from this treatment are uncommon. Patients may occasionally experience a temporary sensation of stiffness or numbness in the injected area, which typically resolves within a few days. Small bumps may be noticeable for approximately 20 minutes, and bruising is exceptionally uncommon. Employing a good technique significantly diminishes these side effects.
