BOTOX®

®

Botox® is one of the most commonly done aesthetic procedures worldwide. Botox® consists of a botulinum toxin type A which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This compound actually represents an extremely purified neurotoxic protein that aims at nerves that are in charge of muscle movement. It freezes the nerves and prevents them from producing the signals which trigger muscle movements. The result is that overactive muscles become relaxed and dynamic wrinkles are no longer produced.

Three main types of botulinum toxin available in the market are DYSPORT, BOTOX and XEOMIN.

This treatment is quick, minimally invasive and requires no downtime. It is proven safe and has gained the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

THE BENEFITS OF BOTOX®

FDA approved and clinically tested

Quick and convenient

Natural-looking and long-lasting effects

The most commonly treated areas are the frown lines on the forehead, crow's feet around the eyes, bunny lines on the bridge of the nose, horizontal necklace lines and vertical platysmal bands. This treatment is particularly effective in those who wish to reduce their natural tendency to frown, want their eyes to look more refreshed or who want a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

TREATMENT AREA & CONDITIONS

These are perhaps the most popular face areas that can be treated with Botox®, but it can be used for other cosmetic purposes such as:

• Rejuvenating neck and jawline

• Making vertical necklines or cords softer

• Remodelling the tip of the nose

• Lifting the corners of the mouth and the eyebrows

• Making the jaw slimmer

• Making chin dimples smoother

• Positioning a gummy smile

• Reducing excessive sweating

Botox® works by blocking nerve signals that stimulate facial muscles, allowing them to relax. As a result, those persistent lines and creases fade away, revealing a smoother and refreshed appearance. With each treatment, the targeted muscles gradually weaken, further reducing wrinkles over time. Resulting in a natural-looking result that keeps your unique facial expressions and features intact.

HOW IT WORKS?

Before the procedure

HOW IS THE PROCEDURE DONE?

Before treatment, our doctor will determine which parts will need Botox® by asking you to contract some parts of your face. Our doctor will guide you through the entire procedure and obtain your written consent. You will decide which areas you want to treat in order to achieve your desired results. Once you are ready the procedure will begin.

During the procedure

You will be ushered to a room. The treated area is cleaned will be marked and later numbed with cream. No anaesthesia is required. Botox® will be injected directly into the muscles that need treatment using a very small needle. If you may feel discomfort, it will disappear after a short time. The number of shots needed depends on the size of the treatment area and other things.

After the procedure

To achieve optimal results follow the aftercare instructions:

• Wait at least 24 hours to do physical exercise

• Go make-up free for 24 hours

• Don't sleep on the treated area

• Avoid other skin treatments within 24 hours

• Avoid touching the treated area

• Avoid drinking alcohol

• Avoid sun exposure

FAQs

Am I suitable for treatment?

Botox® treatment is suitable for people who have dynamic wrinkles in the areas of their face and body that are treatable by Botox®. At REN Clinic, before the treatment, our doctor pays attention to patients' needs and determines if Botox® treatment is best for them.

Botox® treatment is not suitable for people under 18 years old, have illnesses, skin infections or ladies who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, people who are allergic to the ingredients that Botox® consists of should avoid it. Feel free to contact REN Clinic for any additional questions you might have regarding Botox® treatment.

Will I lack facial expressions and sensations after treatment?

Our doctor injects just enough to weaken and relax the targeted muscles without affecting other muscles. This allows patients to maintain their natural facial expressions and does not affect their ability to feel.

Is the treatment painful?

Any injection would feel like a small, prickly feeling, but the needles used is very small. Besides, numbing cream is applied before the injection so you won't feel any discomfort.

When is it safe to have another treatment?

You can have another treatment when the excessive sweating or lines and wrinkles return. With repeat treatment for lines and wrinkles, the muscle may thin, leading to longer-lasting results.

Is there downtime?

Most people return to everyday activities immediately.

Any precautions after the procedures?

Botox® is generally safe with a few minor side effects you might experience after the procedure. Side effects including numbness, minor bruising or swelling over the treated area, temporary headache or nausea. A temporary drop of the brow or eyelid is also a possibility but this only affects less than 1% of all patients. After the treatment, you are prohibited to touch the injected area as any pressure might change the placement of the injection. There are also risks of infection. You should also avoid alcohol or painkillers for 48 hours after the procedure.

How long does the result last?

The result will last up to 4-6 months after the treatment. You're recommended to do follow-up sessions to help maintain your desired appearance.

When can I start to see results?

You can expect to notice the effects of Botox within 2-3 days after the procedure and your skin will appear smoother, fairer and younger!

What are the effects of Botox®?

Botox® can achieve its optimum results after 2-4 weeks from the procedure. The effect lasts for about 4 to 6 months from the procedure. It will then gradually reduce after 3 months and muscle strength slowly returns. Once the line/wrinkle reappears, a simple repeat treatment is all that necessary to maintain the result.
