What is BOTOX / DYSPORT?
Botulinum toxin is a natural protein that is effectively used as an anti-aging and wrinkle-eliminating method. It acts on the muscles by preventing contractions responsible for wrinkles.
Where can it be applied?
Face: On the face, it is applied on the forehead, glabella, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and around the base of the nose, mouth, and neck.
Body: On the body, it is applied to the armpits, palms, and soles.
Generally, it is applied for aesthetic dermatology needs (wrinkles, forehead, glabella, or eyebrow lift), or clinical dermatology for hyperhidrosis (armpits, palms, soles).
What, does the anti-aging method essentially do?
Botulinum toxin (BOTOX) immobilizes specific muscles in the face, reducing their movement and stopping the creation of wrinkles for as long as the toxin’s effects last (3-5 months). Results are visible after 5-7 days.
What don’t we know about BOTOX?
One thing that most people are not aware of is that botulinum toxin is recommended to be applied regularly, as it eliminates wrinkles that are formed due to natural aging. It does not have the same function as hyaluronic acid. Specifically, BOTOX immobilizes the expression line wrinkle, while hyaluronic acid “fills” it.
Who should we trust?
ONLY dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or other qualified medical professionals should be trusted with administering BOTOX.
