BOTOX®

BOTOX® is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the world with millions opting for smoother faces and fewer fine lines every year. This FDA-approved cosmetic treatment is designed to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults. Botox is no longer used for purely cosmetic reasons; it can now be used to treat migraines, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and TMJ pain.

DYSPORT

Dysport is a purified formulation that has been shown to deliver temporary improvements in moderate to severe frown lines, even with repeat treatments. So, the effect of repeat treatments may be comparable to your first use. With just 1 injection into each of 5 points between and above the eyebrows, Dysport® blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines.

BOTOX® BENEFITS

Botox, or Botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein as described by NIH and has been widely used in the cosmetic industry, as well as for a number of medical applications. Here are some of the benefits associated with Botox injections:

  1. Wrinkle reduction: Botox is most known for its ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines, including forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eye), and frown lines.
  2. Preventative aging: Regular use of Botox can help to prevent deep-set wrinkles and fine lines from forming.
  3. Non-surgical solution: Botox provides a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures for anti-aging and wrinkle reduction.
  4. Quick and convenient: Botox treatments typically take only a few minutes and require no recovery time. The effects start to appear within a few days and generally last for three to four months.
  5. Treatment for excessive sweating: Botox is also used to treat severe sweating (hyperhidrosis). It can temporarily block the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands.
  6. Migraine relief: For those who suffer from chronic migraines, Botox injections have been shown to offer relief by reducing the frequency of migraines.
  7. Muscle stiffness/spasms control: Botox has been used to treat various conditions that involve muscle stiffness or spasms, including cervical dystonia, blepharospasm, and strabismus.
  8. Overactive bladder treatment: In some cases, Botox can be used to treat an overactive bladder, offering relief from symptoms such as frequent or urgent urination.
  9. Crossed eyes (Strabismus) treatment: Botox has been used as a treatment for strabismus, helping to align the eyes.

BEST BOTOX® CANDIDATES

  • Age: While there’s no specific age to start Botox, it’s most commonly used by people in their 30s, 40s and 60s+ to treat and prevent wrinkles and fine lines. Younger people sometimes use Botox as a preventive measure, while older individuals may use it to reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles.
  • Health: Ideal candidates are generally in good health. Certain medical conditions can increase the risk of complications. For instance, people with nerve disorders, neuromuscular diseases, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding are usually advised not to undergo Botox treatments.
  • Realistic expectations: It’s important to have a realistic understanding of what Botox can and cannot achieve. Botox can temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by muscle movement, but it’s not a permanent solution and won’t be as dramatic as a facelift or other surgical procedures.
  • Skin condition: Botox is most effective on wrinkles that are “dynamic,” meaning they appear when you’re moving your face. Examples include forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. If your wrinkles are “static” and visible even when your face is at rest, Botox might not be as effective.
  • No allergies: Those who are allergic to the ingredients in Botox, or who have had an allergic reaction to other botulinum products, should not receive Botox injections.
  • Maintain treatment: Botox’s effects usually last about three to six months. To maintain the results, you’ll need to get repeated treatments.

How did Botox Start?

Botox, known scientifically as Botulinum toxin, was discovered in the early 19th century. It’s a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and other related species.

The medical use of Botox began in the late 1960s when Dr. Alan Scott, a San Francisco ophthalmologist, started experimenting with it as a way to treat strabismus (crossed eyes). He found that by injecting tiny amounts of the toxin into overactive eye muscles, it could correct the alignment of the eyes.

Scott got FDA approval for his treatment, but he didn’t have the resources to market it properly. This led him to partner with a pharmaceutical company called Allergan. In 1989, the FDA approved Botox (or Oculinum, as it was called back then) for the treatment of strabismus and blepharospasm (uncontrolled blinking).

In the 1990s, doctors noticed that wrinkles around the eyes and forehead seemed to soften in patients who received Botox treatments for eye muscle disorders. This discovery led to the exploration of Botox as a cosmetic treatment.

In 2002, Botox received FDA approval for cosmetic use, specifically for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). The treatment quickly became popular for its ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, and it has remained one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures ever since.

Today, Botox is used for a wide range of therapeutic applications, including treatment for migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and certain muscular disorders. It has a well-established safety profile when administered correctly by a trained professional.

What to expect at your first Botox Appointment

Your first Botox appointment will typically follow a process like the one described below:

Consultation: The appointment usually starts with a consultation. The medical professional will discuss your medical history, your concerns and the results you wish to achieve. They will also explain the procedure, its risks and benefits, and address any questions or concerns you might have.

Facial Assessment: Your clinician will assess your facial muscle movements. They might ask you to frown, raise your eyebrows, or smile broadly. This step helps the provider understand your facial dynamics and decide the best injection sites to achieve the results you desire.

Preparation: Your skin will be cleaned to remove makeup and reduce the risk of infection. Depending on your pain tolerance, a topical numbing cream may be applied, although most people report that the injections cause little discomfort.

Procedure: Using a tiny needle, the provider will inject Botox into the specific muscles that cause the wrinkles or lines. The number of injections you’ll need will depend on multiple factors, including your facial features, the extent of the wrinkles, and your desired results. This process typically takes around 10-15 minutes.

Aftercare: After the injections, you might see temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Ice packs can be used to minimize these effects. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions. You’ll typically be advised to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, lying down, or engaging in strenuous activity for a few hours post-treatment, as these activities can cause the Botox to spread to unwanted areas.

Follow-up: Your clinician will usually schedule a follow-up appointment in about two weeks to check on your results and decide if any additional injections are needed.

Remember, the effects of Botox are not immediate. You can expect to start seeing results in 3-5 days, but the full effects won’t be apparent until about 1-2 weeks after your treatment. Results typically last between 3-4 months. Regular follow-up treatments are needed if you want to maintain the effect.
