Botox What is the treatment

Botox is the top anti-aging treatment for the upper face! With a few painless tweaks, Botox smooths out static expression wrinkles on the forehead, midface and “Crow’s Feet”.

How the treatment works

Botox (or botulinum toxin type A) injection therapy is one of the most effective anti-aging treatments. It works on the exact spot responsible for the formation of wrinkles on the face: on specific muscles (the dermal or mimic muscles) that are temporarily inactivated so that they don’t do the spasm that creates wrinkles in the skin. The results are striking and the wrinkles fade away without changing the facial expressions.

Botox works mainly on dynamic wrinkles, expression wrinkles as we call them, but it can also delay the appearance or worsening of static wrinkles, which are the ones that inevitably form on our skin over time and depending on skin quality, heredity, sun exposure, smoking, diet and hormonal changes.

Types of Botox treatment

Full Botox.

Full Botox

Forehead, glabella & “Crow’s Feet”

Botox injections are one of the top anti-aging treatments that relax the face without altering the expression. It is the #1 treatment for smoothing expression wrinkles on the forehead, glabella and “Crow’s Feet”. The doctor asks you to make specific expressions (surprise, anger and laughter) and marks the spots where he or she will inject the active ingredient so your skin doesn’t “crease” as you express yourself. In addition to the upper part of the face where Botox is usually focused, it can be applied to the upper lip to smooth out “smoker’s” wrinkles.

Baby Botox.

Baby Botox

For smoothing and preventing the first expression wrinkles

It is the “baby version” of the No1 non-invasive anti-aging treatment, which is mainly addressed to younger people either to correct the very first expression wrinkles or to prevent their appearance. The baby botox treatment, which however can also be applied to older people and actors who wish to preserve some wrinkles on their face for the needs of their roles, is carried out with fewer units of the exact same active ingredient.

Brotox.

Brotox

For smoothing the expression wrinkles of the male face

It is the men’s version of the most popular injectable anti-aging skin care treatment, named after the synthetic word “bro” and it is for all men who know that men’s grooming doesn’t end with aftershave! The formula type and dosage are adapted to the peculiarities of male skin, which due to the more hypertrophic muscles shows more pronounced expression wrinkles. In men who experience hair thinning at the hairline, the treatment is extended towards the scalp for a more complete and natural result.

Masseter Botox

For thinning the face and enhancing it’s oval shape

It is the only treatment that can target the chewing muscles (masseter), which are located at the corners of the lower jaw and are strongly visible during chewing. When these muscles are larger, they make the face look thicker and squared off. The doctor asks you to perform the chewing motion and marks the points where he or she will inject the active substance, which will relax the chewing muscles and reshape the shape of the lower jaw!

Botox «bunny lines»

Smoothes fine wrinkles on the side of the nose

These are the characteristic wrinkles that we see next to the nose when we wrinkle and laugh and are called so because they resemble the folds in the rabbit’s nose.

Applying Botox to this area softens the wrinkles and smoothes the skin.

Botox «gummy smile»

Corrects your smile

This botox application changes your smile! It is chosen when the physiology of the lips and mouth is such that the smile reveals the gums to a great extent. The application of Botox reduces the intense muscle contraction when you smile, so the smile partially covers the upper dentition and gums.

Botox Nefertiti.

Neck Botox – Nefertiti Lift

For smoothing wrinkles and neck “strings”

This treatment is also known as “Nefertiti Lift”, as the queen of ancient Egypt Nefertiti was distinguished for her tall and slender neck. The active ingredient in the treatment acts on the muscle platysma, a large muscle that starts at the base of the neck and extends to the lower jaw, and is responsible for the vertical neck bands (platysma bands) and the loose areas to the right and left of the chin (jowls). Once the muscle platysma is relaxed, a neck and lower jaw lift effect is achieved!

Barbie Botox.

Barbie Botox

For slimmer shoulders and a higher neck

A very popular and trendy type of Botox is Barbie Botox. By applying it to the trapezius muscle, the upper part of the torso looks more sculpted and delicate, reminiscent of the figure of perhaps the most popular children’s doll. However, the treatment is not new as it was originally known as Trap Tox, after the name of the trapezius muscle. It is recommended to relieve the muscle when it is too ‘tight’ or strained and causes severe back and neck pain.

Mesobotox

For shine, smoothing of fine wrinkles, reduction of pores

Mesobotox is a treatment applied to reduce fine wrinkles, reduce skin imperfections and enhance elastin and collagen production. The blend of the treatment consists of a mesotherapy cocktail of hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin, in a lower concentration compared to traditional botox.

It is injected into the superficial layer of the skin rather than into muscles like Botox or Brotox and results in smoothing of fine wrinkles, mild tightening, reduction in pore size and sebum secretion.

Areas chosen for mesobotox application include the midface (T) zone, upper lip, neck and décolletage.

15 days after application, you get an evaluation of the results and, if necessary, enhancement of the material

Application areas

Botox can be applied to different parts of the face, with different results. The doctor carefully examines your face, discusses your needs and suggests the injection at the points that will give the desired result.

The main applications of Botox focus on the upper and lower face as well as the eyes and around the lips. Apart from the face, Botox application can be done on the neck area and also on the trapezoid.

The doctor may suggest application to one of these areas or a combination of them, depending on your needs.

Botox application trends

Botox is a well-known and proven material, but new ways of applying it with impressive results are constantly emerging!

Lip Flip: With just a “pinch”, the shape of the lips is changed and the contour is emphasized as the upper lip makes a sexy upward turn.

Foxy Eye: With a complementary tweak at the corner of the eye, the eyes are lifted flatteringly and the look becomes even more glamorous.

Marionette Lines: This is the name given to the wrinkles that form when the corners of the lips take a downward turn. With two applications in the right places on the left and right of the mouth, you get rid of the sad expression of the mouth.

Smoker’s wrinkles: By applying Botox in two places on the upper lip, vertical wrinkles that betray the “bad” habit of smoking are smoothed out and become less noticeable.

Dimples on the chin: Some find it cute, others find it masculine. If you want to erase the dimple from your chin, applying Botox in the right spot is the solution!

Tip of the nose: A tweak at the base of the nose lifts the acrorhinium and gives you the “French nose” effect.

Botox Treatment

Step by step

1st step

During your visit you discuss with the doctor who listens carefully to your wishes and determines your skin needs. Your age, the quality and condition of your skin and your expectations all play a role in the doctor’s development of a treatment plan exclusively for you so that you can have the result you want and need after botox.

Then, you sit in the chair in the doctor’s office and the doctor asks you to make certain expressions (surprise, smile, frown, anger…) to see how your muscles contract and the wrinkles that form as they contract. In this way, he determines the injection points and the botox units necessary to get the desired result.

2nd step

The aesthetician cleans the application area thoroughly and applies anaesthetic cream for about 20 minutes.

3rd step

The next step is the application of the treatment. The doctor draws the points where he or she makes the applications and starts the injection. The procedure takes a few minutes. Then, you are ready and can go about your day as normal – returning home or to work. Before you leave, the doctor explains when you will start to notice the results of the botox and gives you instructions on what to watch for in the next few hours.

Finally, you schedule your next visit about two weeks later so she can check the results and assess whether you need enhancement (retouch) in any areas.

Cost of Botox treatment

The cost of Botox treatment is individualized and may vary from one person to another depending on the following factors:

The number and surface area of the treatment areas
The higher the number of areas to be treated, the higher the cost of the treatment will be.

The dose that is required

Another factor that affects the cost of Botox is the dose required for treatment. The number of Botox units required usually depends on the extent and depth of the wrinkles. In addition, different areas of the face require different amounts of Botox. For example, neck treatment requires more units than treating the eye lines.

The quality and type of the injectable material
The quality of the injectables used also plays a role in the cost of Botox. Some Clinics may use lower quality or imitation products, which may be cheaper but may not produce the same results. Therefore, it is important to choose a Clinic that only uses certified high quality injectables, such as Allergan Botox, Dysport or Letybo.

Useful information

Before your treatment

If you are taking blood-thinning medication (anticoagulants or aspirin in various forms) discuss with your doctor whether you can stop taking them for a few days to reduce the chance of bruising at the treatment sites. The same applies if you are taking dietary supplements that may have a similar effect (vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, gingo biloba and ginseng).

Some days before the botox treatment avoid drinking alcohol as it has vasodilator properties, which means that small bruises at the injection sites will be more likely to occur.

After you treatment

For the next few hours (ideally 3 hours or more if you can), avoid lying down and touching your face at the treatment sites as this may affect the effect of the botox. If you have your botox in the afternoon, try to sleep on your back with an inflatable pillow on the first night so that your head is slightly elevated.

Avoid vigorous physical activity for about 3 days (exercise or “heavy” household work) as it raises the blood pulse and increases the blood flow, preventing the healing of injured vessels at the injection sites.

Avoid shampooing with hot water and drying hair with a hot air dryer for the next 3 days.

Drinking alcohol after Botox is not a good idea as it can increase the chances of bruising and swelling on the face. Avoid it for 2-3 24 hours after the treatment.

If small bruises appear in some areas you can cover them with makeup. Cold compresses for a few minutes every hour can help as long as you remember not to press your skin.

Bonus tips

How to make botox last longer

For healthy and youthful-looking skin, you can adopt some good habits that are essential whether you have Botox or not: Good hydration of the body and a healthy diet, thorough cleansing of the skin and moisturizing it, daily use of sunscreen all year round and an increase in physical activity that increases oxygenation of the cells and helps maintain their “youthfulness”.
Safe treatment

Botox is a safe treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that has been used for decades in medicine. It is used to treat migraine, hyperhidrosis, incontinence and spasticity after stroke, among other things.
Perfect age

Although Botox was initially used by older women, it was soon realised that it can prevent the formation of wrinkles or their intensity. So more and more younger women have included it in their anti-ageing routine as if used proactively, i.e. before fine wrinkles proliferate and become deeper, it can prolong the youthfulness and natural glow of the skin.

More serious side effects such as eyelid drooping are extremely rare and the likelihood of their occurrence is minimized when the treatment is performed by qualified and experienced physicians in certified clinics.

Injection Neurotoxin Therapy has been used in medicine for over 35 years and has received full acceptance by the medical community. Its use poses no risk as long as it is performed by qualified Dermatologists or Plastic Surgeons. However, particular attention must be paid to the quality and quantity of the material used in order to achieve the desired results.

At Cosmetic Derma Medicine, the effectiveness of Neurotoxin Treatment does not stop at treating wrinkles on the face and neck, but is the most widely used treatment against:

Primary Hyperhidrosis, preventing excessive sweating without affecting normal sweat production. After the treatment, the sweat glands cease to receive the stimulus to produce sweat. After 2-3 sessions the symptoms of hyperhidrosis are greatly reduced and the person regains his/her lost confidence.
In Tension Headaches and Migraine, inhibiting the involuntary contraction of the frontal muscle responsible for certain forms of headaches. More specifically, it has beneficial effects in the fight against chronic migraine. In these cases, the effects begin to be seen gradually after 10-15 days and have a duration of action of up to 4 months. After 4 months, the treatment must be repeated. The discovery that Neurotoxin Injections act beneficially in the fight against migraine was made completely by accident in the early 1990s, when people suffering from migraines showed improvement after neurotoxin injections. This fact led scientists to study the phenomenon further and by 2010 it was considered an officially approved treatment for migraine. The rationale around migraine treatment is based on the fact that Neurotoxin Therapy relaxes the muscles and helps not only tension headaches, but also migraines as it reduces vasospasm.
In Blepharospasm, also known as “twitching” of the eyes, which apart from causing discomfort to the person, can also lead to significant vision problems. It is believed to be caused by a malfunction of the eye blink control centre and often causes problems to patients, as it stops them from reading, driving or watching television. The occurrence of blepharospasm is more common in women than in men. With the help of Neurotoxin Injections, the normal mobility of the eyelids is restored and any problems are prevented.
In Strabismus, in people who are expected to have surgery and until then, they need to deal with the problem. Neurotoxin Injections essentially achieve temporary paralysis of the muscle until balance between the two eyes is achieved. Treatment against strabismus is completely safe and poses no risk to the patient’s health. The duration of the procedure does not exceed half an hour.

Due to the superficial application of the treatment, there are no side effects, as long as it is carried out by experienced, qualified and certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons. In rare cases, bruises may appear, which subside after a few days. There may also be a feeling of heaviness which subsides after a few days. Side effects such as eyelid drooping are very rare when the treatment is performed by a qualified medical dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Although there are no restrictions and no recovery is required, after the treatment, vigorous physical exercise should be avoided for 3 days, as well as exposure of the skin to intense sunlight. Also, the patient should not rub the area after the injections and for the next 3 days, and should avoid using hot water and hot air in the application area for the next 3 days.
