This product has been used for neurologic and ophtalmologic treatment
for more than 10 years after it began to be used with aesthetic
purposes in the 90´decade.
Aesthetic application
Botulinum toxin treatment is done over dynamic wrinkles (those
caused by facial muscles contraction) by relaxing facial musculature.
There're three types of wrinkles, those caused by sun exposure,
those dynamics produced when we gesture or express emotions. Main
indications for botulinum toxin are for treatment of frontal wrinkles,
crows feet and frown lines.
The treatment
Is a non surgical treatment, quick and safe. It doesn't require
allergy tests. It consists on microinjections in the target areas
and it takes no more than 15 minutes. An anesthetic cream can be
used prior to application of the toxin. There're no adverse effects
generally. Some redness in the injection site can be seen for a
couple of hours and very little hematomas. In some cases due to
a major response to the drug a transient weakness of the eyelid
or a brow drop can be seen, effects that disappear in a few days.
All the effects are reversibles.
Results depend on each patient but in general terms after 48-72
hs of injections, effects can be seen being completed after 7-10days.
The effect of the treatment last for 5 to 6 months depending on
individual factors. After many treatments the effects use to last
longer.
Some patients are afraid of the use of a toxin in their bodies,
but thanks to the careful process of elaboration there's no risk
for humans.
This is an excellent option for women seeking for a preventive therapy
for the ageing process.
It's very important to realize a consultation with the surgeon to
determine the results and to evaluate the units require for each
case.
