Botox is an injectable muscle relaxant that temporarily relaxes the muscle by using the botulinum toxin type A, primarily OnabotulinumtoxinA, to assist minimise the appearance of facial wrinkles. This method is thought to be a safe and efficient way to address fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes because it is minimally invasive.
Prior to the treatment, one must disclose to the doctors any medical history, allergies, or problems.
The injectable can be used to treat moderate to severe frown lines around the eyes, also known as crow's feet lines and the glabellar region (the space between the eyebrows).
You will first be questioned about the areas for which you require therapy. Additionally, you would need to fill out a consent form listing any allergies or medications you may be taking that could have an impact on the course of therapy. While you rest comfortably, the area that needs to be treated will be completely cleaned. The area where the injection would be placed will be topically numbed. Three to five injections of type A botulinum toxin would be given to you. It will be injected between the eyebrows, where it will be most effective. To remove crow's feet, you will typically require three injections on either side of each eye. The whole process lasts around ten minutes. Minor bruising or soreness is possible, but these side effects should go away in a few days.
Botox functions by momentarily preventing muscle contractions and nerve messages. This lessens the visibility of lines between and around the brows and around the eyes. By inhibiting the contraction of face muscles, it can help decrease the development of new wrinkles.
It is crucial to remember that the treated area must not be rubbed, massaged, or subjected to any pressure. These behaviours could result in Botox spreading to other parts of the body and impairing your outcomes. For the following three to four hours, avoid lying down or bending over after receiving a Botox injection between the brows. Doing so could result in eyelid droop syndrome because the Botox could slip beneath the orbital rim. After the treatment, very little to no downtime is anticipated.
In most instances, you should be able to return to your regular activities right away.
It's critical to comprehend potential advancements and to set reasonable goals. After therapy, noticeable improvements should start to appear within 1-2 days, reaching their peak around 14 days. Usually, this treatment takes up to 4-6 months to fully take effect.
