What is botox?
1. What is Botox?
This is purified protein produced by Clostridium botulicum bacterium.
2. The application of Botox in aesthetic medicine
is to smoothen facial mimic wrinkles.
3. How does Botox work?
The protein when applied to a selected place blocks for some time the transmission of a chemical signal, thus resulting in a contraction.
Thus, a very small quantity of the preparation applied to a muscle blocks receipt of nerve impulses, resulting in loosening the muscle and in effect wrinkles are smoothened.
4. How long is the treatment?
It lasts about 10 minutes.
It does not require anaesthesia
Right after the treatment, the patient may return to normal life and professional activity.
5. How fast are the effects and how long do they stay?
Wrinkles are smoothened in about 7 days.
After the first treatment, the effects stay for about 4 months; after each subsequent treatment, the period is gradually prolonged, depending of the patient it may last even up to one year.
6. What may be the undesirable effects of treatment with Botox?
Undesirable effects occur extremely rarely and the possibility depends on the place of injection. That is why it is necessary to individually discuss them with a doctor before the treatment.
However, even if they do occur, they are temporary and totally reversible.
Summary
Botox is a safe and effective preparation, used for decades all over the world.
In aesthetic dermatology it is a chance for eternal youth.
