Botox & Dysport
About
Botox® is an injectable natural purified protein neuromodulator. It lessens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the muscles near the wrinkles creating a smoother and improved appearance while leaving the rest of your facial muscles unchanged, so your facial expressions remain dynamic and natural-looking.
In small, locally-injected doses, this medication can help to control conditions such as pain, spasms, excessive sweating, headaches and wrinkles. The procedure is quick, safe, minimally-invasive, minimally-painful, and requires no recovery time. In addition, Botox can also deactivate pain receptors and block the transmission of pain signals. For this reason, Botox is used in the treatment of migraines. Migraines can be debilitating and could present as headache, extreme sensitivity to light and sound, and nausea.
Along with proper nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle regimen, Botox injections are a great tool for combating migraines. Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can be an embarrassing and inconvenient condition. Botox injections can inhibit the overaction of nerves whose signals stimulate the production of sweat. By targeting areas affected by overactive sweat glands, Botox can help to bring hyperhidrosis under control, and avoid soaked clothes, odor, and discomfort in public.
Perhaps the best-known use of Botox is their use in fighting wrinkles. Wrinkles are caused by the repeated contraction of facial muscles. Botox treatment of wrinkles involves the targeted and temporary relaxation of certain facial muscles that result in the formation of wrinkles. The patient is still able to express emotions, but the unconscious contraction of muscles is limited, thereby reducing wrinkles on the forehead, smile lines, and crow’s feet.
For those suffering from headaches and facial spasms, the same treatment can help to alleviate these conditions while maintaining a smooth and youthful complexion.
