Botox
What is Botox?
Botox is comprised of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein that re- laxes muscles, reducing and preventing wrinkles. The botulinum toxin in Botox interferes with specific chemical signals to the nerves, preventing muscle contraction. It attaches to nerve end ings in the muscles, disrupting nerve transmission. By halting muscle contractions, Botox effectively reduces wrinkles or signifi cantly slows their formation process.

Botox® is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for those who want to Improve their appearance without surgery. Results take about 3-10 days to see the full effect. Frequency of treatment varies depending on what muscles it is targeted for and since everybody reacts differently. These results are tempo- rary, lasting an average of 3-4months, contingent upon the severity of wrinkles and the quantity of Botox administered. Consistent multiple treatments are necessary to sustain the desired outcome and ensure ongoing maintenance of your Botox regimen.
Post-Operative instructions
limiting clirect sun exposure that day as it can decrease the efficacy result
-UV rays have the potential to induce flushing by expanding facial blood vessels and augmenting facial blood flow.
Consequently, this accelerates the dispersion of Botox molecules, potentially compromising the treatment efficacy by
diminishing the drug’s absorption in nerve endings.
– Avoid extreme exercise post treatment.
Avoid rubbing or massaging area that day as it will cause the neurotoxin to spread to another muscle that was not our original target zone
