How
does it work?
Botox works
on a muscular level to block the nerve impulses that trigger wrinkles.
Botox is considered to be one of the safest and most widely researched
cosmetic products available today, when administered under medical
supervision.
A series of tiny injections are administered directly into the
area and effects are experienced after approximately 48 hours
and for a period of 3-6 months. (The full effects may take 1-2
weeks to develop). The treatment can cause some minor discomfort
(local anaesthetic can be used to minimise this) and sometimes
slight redness that will disappear in an hour or so.
You
will be provided with an aftercare leaflet, which is important
that you follow. This will minimise the risk of ‘Botox’
‘tracking’ to any surrounding tissue before it has
time to be fully absorbed into the desired muscle. The instructions
include the following:
o Do not massage
the treated area at all. If the area is washed, pat dry very gently
with a soft towel. Do not rub the treated area for 48 hours.
o Do not bend excessively
or lie down for at least 4 hours.
o Do not fly for
the first 12 hours
o Do exercise the
treated muscles by tensing them and relaxing them for the first
hour after treatment.
o Botulinium toxin
takes from 2 to 14 days to become effective. This is dependent
on the strength of the muscles injected and the individual response.
