What is Botox treatment?
Botox treatment is an aesthetic procedure that involves the use of a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin. This toxin is produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum and is known for its ability to temporarily weaken muscle activity. Botox injections are commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging on the face and neck. By blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, Botox can smooth out and relax the targeted areas, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

Botox
Face Aesthetic
One of the most well-known uses of Botox is to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. By relaxing the muscles responsible for these wrinkles, Botox can provide a smoother and more youthful appearance. Additionally, Botox can be used to treat excessive sweating, a condition known as hyperhidrosis. By blocking the signals that stimulate the sweat glands, Botox can effectively reduce excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms or palms. It can treat teeth grinding (bruxism) and associated pain, and be used to restore facial symmetry in facial paralysis.
What happens during Botox treatment?
During a Botox treatment, a series of injections are administered into specific muscles in order to temporarily weaken them. When the injections are for age-related cosmetic reasons, they are usually given in areas where wrinkles and lines are most visible, such as the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows. For hyperhidrosis, they may be applied to the face, palms and armpits. For teeth grinding Botox is injected into the masseter muscles. Jonathan will be able to tell you more about the specific injections sites for you when you visit him for your consultation.

Firstly, it is important to avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure. This helps to prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended areas. We also recommend you avoid any strenuous activities for the first 24 hours.
