| » Where | : | In the clinic |
| » By whom | : | Qualified and Trained Plastic Surgeon / Dermatologist |
| » Anaesthesia | : | Usually no anaesthesia is required. Ice packs on the face temporarily dull the sensation, or local anaesthetic cream 1 hour before injection can be applied |
| » Hospital Stay | : | 1 day |
| » How is it Done | : | Multiple injections into muscles involved through a small insulin needle |
| » How does it work | : | The fine wrinkles on forehead and around the eyes are expression lines. They form due to constant conscious or subconscious muscle contractions. Botulinum toxin when injected directly into those muscles causes them to relax by temporarily paralyzing them locally and wrinkles disappear. The effect of Botulinum toxin takes upto 2 weeks to appear and it wears off in 3-5 months gradually. Then the muscles become active once again and Botulinum toxin can be repeated |
| » Recovery | : | No downtime. Patients can immediately resume normal activities |
| » Safety | : | Long experience has proven BTX to be safe. To date, no systemic complications associated with BTX injections have been documented |
| » Side effects | : | Possible side effects include local numbness, swelling, bruising, or a burning sensation during injection. Some patients have reported tem- porary headache and nausea. Most complications are of short duration and can be avoided with proper injection techniques. |
