Botulinum Toxin Injections
Duration of procedure:
45 minutes
Botulinum Toxin Injections is a procedure involving the injection of botulinum toxin. Injections of this toxin relax muscles, thereby smoothing wrinkles. New wrinkles do not appear in the treated area during the period of its action.
For treating hyperhidrosis, botulinum toxin is injected into the underarms, palms, and soles.
Mechanism of Action of Botulinum Toxin in Botox Therapy:
Botulinum toxin is a protein that disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses from nerve endings to muscles. As a result, the muscle into which the injection is made relaxes, the skin smoothes without a tightening effect, and wrinkles disappear.
Botulinum toxin is injected intramuscularly, occasionally subcutaneously, using micro-needles. It allows for the elimination of wrinkles on the face, neck, and décolleté. Thanks to very thin needles, there are almost no traces of injections, and the procedure is virtually painless. However, pain perception depends more on the individual pain threshold than the thickness of the needle. Anesthetic is applied if necessary.
At our LorEmA Aesthetic Medical Center, qualified doctors with many years of experience work. Their expertise allows for a quick analysis of the patient's problem and precise determination of the required number of injections to achieve the desired result.
Most Commonly Corrected Areas:
Forehead and nose bridge;
Nasolabial folds;
Area around the lips;
Chin.
Two to three weeks after the Botox therapy procedure, the patient should come for a follow-up, where the doctor will evaluate the results and determine if additional injections are needed.
