Botulinum Toxin

   What is Botulinum Toxin?   

Botulinum toxin is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of both moderate to severe crow’s feet lines and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.

Botulinum toxin is the only approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults.

Botulinum toxin is one of the most extensively studied medical aesthetic treatments and is approved for cosmetic use in 78 countries. The safety and efficacy of Botulinum toxin have been evaluated in both Allergan sponsored clinical trials as well as in 417 peer-reviewed articles in scientific and medical journals.

How Does Botulinum Toxin Work?

Botulinum toxin targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. The doctor will inject these muscles with Botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.

Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors. It’s not just about cellular changes that can occur over time, reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals in the sun and the environment. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. And when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet.

Botulinum toxin works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet.

FAQ

Who administers the treatment?

At Cosmedic clinic, your botulinum toxin will only ever be administered by a Specialist trained Doctor.

What can I expect when I have the treatment?

At your initial consultation, prior to your treatment, our doctor will assess and explain about your suitability to proceed with the areas to be treated. For deeper lines and wrinkles, dermal filler instead of botulinum toxin might be recommended depending on the patient suitability. You will then be booked in for your treatment at a time most convenient to you.

The treatment, administered by our professionally trained doctors, is injected directly into the wrinkles which results in temporarily relaxing the facial muscles and preventing the formation of wrinkles, whilst existing lines are softened. Because a very fine needle is used, most patients find that there is only mild and temporary discomfort. The entire procedure usually takes no longer than 15 minutes and during this time our doctors will discuss with you the results which you can expect to see and advise repeat treatments that will be suitable for you.

Is there any downtime?

The treatment will take around 15 minutes and there is no down-time. Immediately following your treatment you are advised to avoid exercise and hot baths to prevent sweating out the protein.

Is it right for me?

Botulinum toxin treatments are ideal for anyone who has concerns about forehead creases, frown lines or crows feet. The treatment still allows expressions to show on the face which is why many patients feel they do not have to tell work colleagues, friends or partners that they are having treatments. Many people choose to have line & wrinkle treatments to look fresher, less tired, less stressed and ultimately younger. It’s always a good idea to prevent wrinkles rather than having to deal with them as and when they appear and this is where the treatment is so effective.

It’s also a great starter treatment if you’ve never had a Cosmetic Treatment before and can be wonderful to add the finishing touch to both post brow lift and face lift surgical patients. Botulinum toxin treatments are incredibly versatile and can be combined holistically with other treatments (such as dermal fillers) to encompass total rejuvenation of the face; this is why it is so important to attend a Registered Clinic so that you can be given all the information to make an informed decision about your unique treatment plan.

What, if any, are the possible side effects?

Side effects of botulinum toxin treatments are rare – indeed it is one of the safest Cosmetic procedures available.
However, there is the possibility of inadequate injection technique resulting in the treatment being injected or dispersed by massaging the area, this can cause a temporary weakness and is why it’s so important to have your treatment at a clinic which is registered by the Ministry Of Health.
When the treatment begins to work, you may notice some temporary strange “sensations” around the treated areas as the muscles that have not been injected adjust. Some patients may experience some tenderness, mild redness, swelling or bruising follow the treatment but these are only short-term effects that last a few days.

I always have an amazing experience at Klinik Cosmedic. I have been having acne issues for a long time. Dr Azizah was very thorough during consultation explaining about the treatment options. I did chemical peel treatments and continued with skincare at home advised by the doctor. I am very satisfied and happy as my skin is acne free now. They do not try to sell any products and always give the best advice.
Both the doctors, Dr Azizah & Dr Harmeet and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Highyly recommended

I first came to this clinic to film Dr Azizah for one of my tv wellness shows but I became a customer myself. She’s really lovely. Doesn’t push you to get something you don’t need. I’ve done lasers here, hair removal and she even helped me to get rid of a scar from broken glass with fractional lasers and a keloid injection. Thank you
