Millions of people worldwide have used botulinum injections (Botox®) to reduce facial wrinkles. Botox is one of the most popular aesthetic therapies in the world today.
The amount of toxin used for cosmetic treatments is very small and extremely safe. The toxin reversibly relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles which are lines that appear when you animate your face. Static wrinkles are lines that appear at rest which do not usually improve with Botulinum Toxin and may be best treated with fillers.
Botox is used to treat frown lines/forehead wrinkles and crows feet. In addition to this, botox can be used to treat migraines and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
The effects of the injection for wrinkles initially last from 3-6 months with a longer duration after a course of 4 or 5 small injections.
Frown wrinkles (Glabella wrinkles) are most commonly seen in patients with excessive sun exposure and those who have over activity of these muscles often associated with frowning.
Forehead wrinkles appear in horizontal lines in the area between the eyebrows and the hairline. These wrinkles are formed when eyebrows are raised.
Crow’s Feet wrinkles (Peri-orbital wrinkles) are in the outer corner of the eyes and appear more prominent when laughing or smiling. These can result from excessive sun exposure combined with the skin becoming less elastic with age.

When excessive sweating gets in the way of your daily life and antiperspirants do not work, then Botox treatment may be the answer. Common areas of the body that experience excessive sweating are: the under arms, palms, feet and forehead.
Botox is approved by the FDA to treat the symptoms of excessive underarm sweating. We inject into the affected areas, this temporarily blocks the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands this in turn stops the excessive sweating.

Botox works by weakening the muscles into which it is injected. As facial muscles contract, the loose skin above those muscles wrinkles. By weakening the muscles, the wrinkles are reduced.
The results usually last for around four months, after which you may wish to return for a top up.
Botox is very safe as long as it is administered by a qualified medical professional.
The procedure is largely pain free, with the exception of mild discomfort which is experienced due to the small needle injection involved. You may notice some soreness in the injection site directly after the treatment, but this should subside quickly.
Most side effects are short-lived and mild, the most common being mild bruising to the site of the injection. Some patients also report mild headaches shortly after the treatment, but these usually subside within 24 hours.
