What is Botox?
Botox is a protein created from botulinum toxin that has cosmetic benefits when used correctly by medical professionals. A small dose of botox can fight wrinkles and reduce their appearance. Botox is usually injected, and it works by preventing signals from the nerves to the muscles. The botox in the muscle can’t contract, and it relaxes and softens wrinkles.
Botox is often injected on lines around the eye, frown lines and forehead lines. However, Botox has its limitations, like it cannot treat wrinkles caused by gravity or sun damage.
The most commercially used variants of botulinum toxins are:
- Abobotulinumtoxin A (Dysport)
- Incobotulinumtoxin A (Xeomin)
- Onabotulinumtoxin A (Botox)
- Prabotulinumtoxin A (Jeuveau)
- Rimabotulinumtoxin B (Myobloc)
NOTE: People used to call all Botulinum toxins as “Botox,” though it is a registered trademark owned by a single company.
Medical practitioners typically mix Botox with saline and inject it into specific muscles. Discomfort is usually minimal, and you can expect to see results within 3 to 7 days, with the effects lasting several months depending on the procedure.
Pregnant and lactating women, as well as people with an allergic reaction to Botox or any of the components, should avoid the treatment.
What results can you expect?
Botox can make you look younger because it improves your skin by reducing the appearance of facial creases and diminishing your neckbands. It can also help lift the eyebrows, soften a jawline and even correct a gummy smile.
What should you do before and after treatment?
It’s best not to drink alcohol 2 -7 days before the procedure. Avoid taking aspirin and other anti-inflammatory medications 2 weeks before the treatment in order to prevent bruising.
After the procedure, you may experience some effects, such as mild discomfort or temporary changes. It’s advisable to follow general care instructions provided by your healthcare professional for a smooth recovery process.
