Some Anti-wrinkle Injections questions
- What are the uses of Botulinum Toxin ?
Beauty Toxins have been used safely and effectively for over 10 yrs to treat many opthalmological and neurological disorders such as diploplia ,torticollis ,cerebral palsy and more recently for migraines and tension headaches where forehead muscles relax with the injections and headaches ease off. In the Beauty Industry it is used for treating frown lines, forehead furrows, eye/smile lines (crows feet), lip (smoker) lines, down turned mouths and dimpled chins.
- Is it safe?
Yes. The dosages of Botulinum Toxin used are extremely small. They have been used safely and effectively since the late 1980s for various medical problems and have now also been used safely in the Beauty Industry for over 10 yrs.
Botulinum injections should only be administered by a Practitioner who has been medically trained and has certificates for Botulinum treatments.
- How does it work?
The Botulimum toxin blocks the nerve transmission to the muscles under the skin thus relaxing the muscles. Facial lines formed by the dynamic action of underlying muscles will then diminish or disappear giving the face a more youthful and fresh appearance.
- How long do the injections last ?
Beauty Toxin Injections initially last about 12-14 weeks. Gradual return of muscle movement will then be seen. Repeat injections last longer and most patients will achieve between 4 - 6 months before requiring further treatment.
- Will my face look frozen?
No. Beauty Toxin injections should achieve a much more relaxed facial appearance, which is both natural looking and youthful.
- How long can I have injections for?
Studies have shown continued benefits of repeat Beauty Toxin injections over many years. Very rarely will a patient develop resistance to the treatments.
- What will I look like when I stop the treatments?
As the muscle activity gradually returns your looks will simply go back to how you appeared before you started the initial treatments.
