Botulinum toxin A (BOTOX, DYSPORT, ALLUZIENCE) is a product of specific bacteria – clostridium botulinum, which produces a class of chemical compound known as “toxin”, used for medical purposes. The injections of Botox in small doses into specific muscles by a certified doctor, block the chemical signals and disable muscle contractions and therefore the formation of wrinkles.
BOTOX/DYSPORT is used for the cosmetic treatment of frown area wrinkles, Crow’s feet wrinkles, forehead horizontal lines and neck bands. BOTOX/DYSPORT has also been used to treat migraine headaches, excessive perspiration disorders (hyperhidrosis) of the armpits, hands and feet.
BOTOX/DYSPORT injections are customised for every patient, depending on his or her particular needs.
BOTOX/ DYSPORT application effect last from four to six months, and after that the muscle completely recovers. In some rare cases, the effect lasts less, especially in patients that have thyroid hyperactivity, persons that exercise a lot, etc. Following that, the treatment can be repeated an unlimited number of times without any contraindications. Also, the treatments can be interrupted in any time without any fear that there will be any consequences on the face. Due to the possibly of developing resistance to the toxin, it is not recommended to repeat your injections in less than 3 months.
BOTOX/ DYSPORT cannot stop the process of aging. It can, however, temporarily diminish the look of wrinkles caused by contraction of certain muscle groups.
BOTOX/ DYSPORT injections may be performed as a singular procedure or as an adjunct to another aesthetic procedure (fillers, mesotherapy, etc.) except high intensity devices. The doctor will explain to you exactly what procedures could be combined depending on each individual case.
Small bruises at the injection site could be possible, due to the patient sensibility. After BOTOX, we strongly advise our patients not to go to the gym, not to use sauna, or to have massages in the treated area for 48-72 hrs. For couple of hours right after the therapy, we recommend that patient should not lay down in order to prevent the product’s migration in unwanted muscles and to have undesired asymmetries.
