Botox Anti Wrinkle Injections
What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Botulinum toxin is a prescription muscle relaxant medicine and is used to treat a number of conditions within the body. When injected into a muscle it works by partially blocking the nerve impulses which reduce excessive contractions of the muscle. The effect being the muscles are relaxed therefor wrinkles softened and reduced.
How long does Botox last?
Anti-wrinkle treatments using botulinum toxin normally take 4 days to start taking effect with up to 10-14 days for the final result. They usually last between 3-4 months, dependant on the area.
Are there any side effects from Botox?
For facial injections- headaches and injection-site reactions are the most common adverse effects. Visual disturbances are uncommon and hypersensitivity reactions very rare. The use of aspirin, high dose vitamin e, and high dose omega 3 oils, should be stopped for at least seven days prior to treatment to minimize bruising.
Who is suitable?
You are not suitable for the treatment if any of the following applies; pregnancy/breastfeeding, infection at the injection site, allergies to botulinum toxin ingredients, neuromuscular disorders, or under 18 years of age.
