BOTOX

What is Botox?

Botox is a protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In the field of aesthetics, it is used to temporarily reduce the movement of specific muscles. This may help soften the appearance of lines that are formed by facial expressions. The effect typically begins within a few days and can vary in duration depending on the individual.

What is Botox Used For?

In aesthetic treatments, Botox is commonly used to address expression lines in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. In some cases, it may also be used under medical supervision for issues such as excessive sweating, certain muscle conditions, or headaches.

How is Botox Applied?

Botox is injected in small amounts into targeted muscle groups. The procedure is generally quick and should be performed in a medical setting by a qualified healthcare professional.

How Does Botox Work?

Botox may temporarily reduce muscle activity in the treated area. As a result, the appearance of expression lines may be diminished. Its effects are localized and not permanent.

How Long Do the Effects Last?

The duration of Botox effects varies by individual, treatment area, and the formulation used. Typically, results last between 4 to 6 months. Repeat treatments can be performed if desired.

Where Can Botox Be Applied?

Aesthetic Botox applications are most frequently used on:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
• Around the lips
• Neck area

Treatment areas and techniques are tailored to the individual’s needs and professional assessment.
