What is Botox?
Botox, scientifically known as Botulinum toxin, is a powerful, FDA-approved medication that’s administered via injections to relax facial muscles, thereby smoothing the overlying skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox has several synonyms such as Nuceiva and Dysport, which are variants of the botulinum toxin with minor differences, but a similar effect.
Indications for Botox Treatment
Botox is ideal for anyone looking to treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Crow's feet around the eyes
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
- Other facial lines caused by expressions
Contraindications
Though Botox treatment is generally safe, certain individuals should not receive Botox injections. These include people with:
- A known allergy to any ingredients in Botox, Dysport, or Nuceiva
- An infection at the proposed injection site
- Neurological disorders such as ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
- Pregnancy or nursing
It’s important to discuss your medical history with your doctor to ensure Botox is a safe option for you.
Procedure and Outcomes
Botox treatment at LABELLE Clinic is a swift, minimally invasive procedure performed by our highly skilled and trained specialists. It involves injecting tiny amounts of Botox into specific muscles, temporarily blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. This leads to a smoother and more youthful appearance. The full effect can take 1 to 2 weeks to become visible and lasts up to 3-4 months, depending on individual circumstances.
