WHAT IS BOTOX? Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin, is a widely recognized injectable treatment renowned for its ability to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. By temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for expression, Botox effectively smooths the skin, leading to a more refreshed and youthful look. This cosmetic injectable is a preferred choice for addressing various concerns such as crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, with results that enhance your natural beauty.
AREAS THAT CAN BE TREATED WITH BOTOX:
- Forehead Lines
- Crow's Feet (around the eyes)
- Frown Lines (between the eyebrows)
- Bunny Lines (on the nose)
- Chin Texture (orange peel appearance)
- Neck Bands With precise injections, Botox can correct dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions, yielding a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
HOW LONG DOES BOTOX LAST? Typically, the effects of Botox last between 3 to 6 months, depending on individual factors such as age, skin condition, and the area treated. A general guideline for Botox duration is as follows:
- Forehead Lines: 3-4 months
- Crow's Feet: 3-4 months
- Frown Lines: 4-6 months
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A BOTOX TREATMENT Here’s what you can expect during your Botox journey:
-
Consultation: You will have a thorough consultation with a qualified aesthetic professional. They'll assess your needs, discuss desired outcomes, and determine your suitability for Botox.
-
Pre-treatment Preparation: On the treatment day, the areas to be injected will be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
-
Injection Process: Using a very fine needle, the Botox will be strategically injected into targeted areas. You might experience mild discomfort, often described as a pinch, but most find the experience tolerable.
-
Monitoring and Adjustments: Throughout the procedure, your injector will evaluate the results and make any necessary adjustments to achieve symmetrical and natural-looking outcomes.
-
Post-treatment Care: After the injections, you may receive instructions regarding aftercare, including tips to minimize bruising and swelling, as well as recommendations for activities to avoid, like strenuous exercise.
-
Immediate Results: Many individuals begin to see improvements within 24 to 48 hours as the Botox takes effect, with optimal results noted at around two weeks. While there may be some initial swelling or redness, these effects typically resolve quickly.
-
Maintenance and Follow-Up: To maintain the desired results, follow-up treatments will be necessary every few months. Your aesthetician will guide you on the ideal timing for touch-ups based on your individual response to the treatment.
Remember, while Botox is considered a safe and effective anti-wrinkle treatment, it is essential to receive injections from a certified and experienced professional to ensure safety and satisfaction. Embrace the potential of Botox to enhance your natural beauty and help you face the world with confidence!
BEORE AND AFTER
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections are an increasingly popular treatment for tackling the signs of ageing non-surgically. They are able to relax facial muscles and proactively prevent wrinkles from forming.
Anti-wrinkle injections work by using a naturally purified protein to relax muscles in the face and block certain nerve signals to the muscles. By blocking the nerve signals, the hyperactive muscles that normally contract or elevate will freeze, allowing for smoother skin with reduced wrinkles.
Using anti-wrinkle injections for this treatment allows us to minimise any activity above the eyebrows that encourages these dynamic frown lines to crop up. By relaxing the muscles, they gain a chance to recuperate the face’s elasticity, allowing it to bounce back to its youthful standard as if the wrinkles never existed. This leads to smoother skin and a reduction in depth and severity of the wrinkles, making them less noticeable and helping to prevent future wrinkles from developing.
2. Do anti-wrinkle injections hurt?
Due to the treatment being non-surgical in nature, there is little to no pain involved in anti-wrinkle injections. Of course, everyone has a different pain threshold, but when performed by our expert practitioners the procedure is described as a slight pinch to the skin. The needles used for this treatment are extremely thin to allow for minimal discomfort and improved accuracy for our practitioners.
Different areas of the face will have more nerve endings, meaning these areas can be more sensitive than others. We recommend the use of a topical anaesthetic to soothe the area and remove any discomfort. Our clinically trained practitioners are trained regularly on the latest techniques to ensure that treatments are performed with your comfort and safety as a priority.
3. Are there any side effects?
Due to the nature of injectable treatments, there is a possibility of some minor side effects. Side effects from Botox injections commonly keep to the site of the injection and often only take a few days to settle. The most common side effects include:
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Itching
- Bruising
- Sensitivity
- Muscle weakness
Any potential side effects will be discussed further at the pre-treatment consultation with a member of the ALISIIA KHOLLI team. Your practitioner will discuss relevant medical history to provide an informed recommendation for your course of treatment.
4. When will I see the results of my treatment?
Initial results will be visible as soon as you leave the clinic, however, it will take around two weeks for the anti-wrinkle injections to finalise and provide the full result. The two-week wait also allows for any light bruising or swelling from the treatment to reduce, revealing your final look.
5.
The Botulinum toxin (BOTOX) anti-wrinkle injectables that we use at our clinics usually last around 3 to 4 months, with longevity varying naturally from patient to patient. We recommend a follow-up appointment around 4 to 6 months after your initial treatment to assess results and provide maintenance. Follow-up appointments will help us to keep your skin looking healthy and rejuvenated for as long as possible.
The exact length might change based on the volume of anti-wrinkle injectables used, aftercare, and the precise areas being treated. Our aestheticians will be happy to discuss specifics at your initial consultation.
6. How can I make anti-wrinkle results last longer?
Injectables can usually last independently for months, but you can increase the longevity of your anti-wrinkle results and prevent wrinkles in a few ways. To ensure that you get the most from your anti-wrinkle treatment, we recommend a combination of the following.
- Maintaining a healthy skincare routine, minimising exposure to UV radiation.
- Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated.
- Avoiding stress, as this will accelerate the signs of ageing.
- Follow the recommended aftercare provided by our practitioners.
- Regular follow-up treatments.
7. Are Anti-Wrinkle Injections safe?
We only use the most effective and safest FDA-approved products at ALISIIA KHOLLI. Before any treatment we require a full medical consultation to understand your suitability. We would never recommend a treatment for you if we deemed it to be unsafe or dangerous for your unique circumstance.
At ALISIIA KHOLLI, we only hire doctors and nurses with a strong background in the NHS, with a minimum of three years in aesthetics. Our Dr Alisiia Kholli, is involved in the training of other medical practitioners for Allergan, the company behind Juvéderm and Botox.
You can be sure that you will be in the best hands; safety is our primary concern, and we work to ensure that you are safe and comfortable, before, during and after your treatment.
8. Who is suitable for this treatment?
This treatment is suitable for anyone interested in revivifying their facial features by reducing frown lines that have built up. It is especially useful in maintaining the natural look of the face without looking ‘frozen’, which is a common concern with this procedure.
This treatment is personalised to each patient and can be combined with the anti-wrinkle injections in the forehead area. By personalising the treatment and potentially combining the two, we can target precise concerns. This means we can provide smoother skin that will proactively fend off ageing signs like wrinkles whilst retaining a wholly natural look.
9. What type of anti-wrinkle injection will be used for my treatment?
With many different brands cluttering the market, and our Clients as our top priority, we ensure to use only the safest, more premium products. This is why we at ALISIIA KHOLLI are proud to use the FDA-approved Botulinum toxin by Allergan, one of the safest and most renowned brands on the market.
