This treatment involves a very small amount of a specific purified protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium injected with a very fine needle into the small muscles of the face.
Botulinum Toxin type A inhibits the transmission of neurotransmitter from the ner to the muscle and stop the muscle from contracting and forming wrinkles.
Approximately three to ten days after treatment, the skin around the injected muscle area becomes nice and smooth.
– If used early enough, antiwrinkle injections can prevent the formation of these wrinkles.
– The treatment is relatively painless, so anaesthesia is usually not needed. It is described as a small “pinch”. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by the lack of discomfort. After the treatment you will be able to continue with all of your usual activities.
The treatment with Botulinum Toxin type A is not permanent. The results last 3-4 months for the initial treatments, and following that you will most likely to be able to extend the treatment intervals to 5-6 months as well as potentially reducing the amount of product you require.
You should exercise the treated muscles during the first hour after your treatment. You should not touch or rub the treated areas for one hour after the treatment to avoid spreading the toxin into non-targeted muscles. In very rare cases this unwanted relaxation of muscle could cause temporary eyelid dropping or slight asymmetry of facial expression. These rare side effects are temporary, and resolve after a few weeks
Your face will simply return to its previous appearance. If you use Botox for a prolonged period, prior to stopping the treatment , your muscles will have learned to relax on their own and you will end up looking better than when you began.
Botulinum Toxin type A is an approved prescription drug. Botox, which is one of the trade names of this drug, is actually manufactured here in Westport by Allergan.
Botox has been used safely for over 30 years in adults and even in small children to treat many medical conditions where overactive muscles require relaxation such as:
– cervical dystonia
– lazy eye
– muscle contractures
– chronic migraine
– bladder dysfunction
– excessive sweating
Each year hundreds of thousands of patients receive Botox treatment for a variety of medical conditions, and Botox has become a popular treatment for reversing some of the visible signs of aging by relaxing the muscles which cause the wrinkles.
When used medically, the doses are much higher and much more frequent than those used in cosmetic treatments. The safety of this product is well established. However, as with any prescription drug, there are potential side effects:
– dry mouth
– discomfort or pain at the injection site
– tiredness
– headache
– neck pain
Eye problems: double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight, dropping eyelids, swelling of eyelids, dry eyes.
Problems with spelling “P” and “B” letters when treating “smokers” lines.
All above problems are temporary and resolve within few hours to few weeks.
Allergic reaction to Botulinum Toxin Type A can also occur. Symptoms may include: itching, rash, red itchy welts, wheezing, asthma symptoms, feeling faint.
All those side effects are very rare.
