Botox
1. Treatment :
- Botox has been known and used for medical purposes for over 50 years.
- It is a purified protein in minute injections.
- It helps to smoothen fine lines and wrinkles and gives you a flawless complexion.
- Unlike what the myths say, Botox is a safe lunch time procedure.
- The results are visible 5-7 (?) after the injections.
- Worry lines, frown lines, crow’s feet (wrinkles that form upon smiling), jawline shaping, sad angle of mouth, chin shaping and decollate lines can be treated.
2. Pre-treatment care :
- Discontinue certain medications like aspirin or vitamin e before the treatment.
3. Post-treatment care :
- Do not take any treatment that is a massage or spa-related for at least 48 hours prior to the treatment nor for the same duration after the injection has been administered.
- Refrain from any form of exercise/ swimming on the day of the treatment.
- Do not lift any weight or bend for 2-3 days after the treatment.
- Do not take any treatment that involves steam, sauna or any kind of facial for at least 2 days after the treatment.
4. Benefits :
- Possible side effects are few and temporary in nature; redness, swelling, headaches, temporary drooping eyelids or eyebrows are extremely rare.
- Lines and wrinkles are smoothened out and do not form as much as they did before.
- The effect of the Botox lasts 4-8 months.
- It is a non-surgical procedure so there isn’t much downtime required where regular activities have to be put on hold for a long duration.
