Action of botulinum toxin (botox)
The
action of botulinum toxin is to temporarily inhibit the secretion of
acetylcholine, which is responsible for transmitting signals between neurons.
As a result, a completely safe and reversible process of muscle contraction
loss occurs, because the nerve endings do not send a signal.
What preparations do we work with?
We
use various preparations of botulinum toxin type A. We work mainly on Azzalure
and Bocouture . As with other treatments, the preparation is individually
selected for each patient
Indications
for the procedure
Botulinum
toxin is intended for people who want to get rid of wrinkles in the upper part
of the face, the so-called facial wrinkles. We mainly mean the horizontal
forehead wrinkles, wrinkles between the eyebrows or wrinkles around the eyes,
commonly known as 'crow's feet'.
Contraindications
*hypersensitivity to
Clostridium botulinum type A neurotoxin complex or to any of the ingredients of
the drug
*disorders of neuromuscular junctions (myasthenia gravis, myopathies
*aminoglycoside therapy
*pregnancy and breastfeeding
*Botulinum toxin treatment
Botulinum toxin treatments are
virtually painless, the patient only feels some discomfort during the procedure
related to the needle prick. The procedure lasts about 20-30 minutes. In the
case of patient hypersensitivity, it is possible to use local anesthesia in the
form of an anesthetic cream.
After botox treatment
The effect after the procedure lasts
from 3 to 6 months, and it depends on the individual characteristics of the
body. After the indicated period, facial expressions gradually return. After
the botulinum toxin has completely worn off, but no earlier than after 3
months, the procedure can be repeated. As with other injection procedures,
redness and swelling may occur.
