The effects of Botox® typically start to become noticeable within 10 days to a week after treatment. Anti-Wrinkle treatments can last for about 3-4 months on average. For Hyperhidrosis, the results can last for up to 1 year. However, the duration can vary depending on factors such as individual metabolism, the amount injected, and the specific muscles treated.
ANTI-WRINKLE & MUSCLE RELAXANTS
BOTOX®, DYSPORT® & XEOMIN®
WHAT IS BOTOX®, DYSPORT® & XEOMIN® ?
Xeomin®, Dysport®, and Botox® are brand names for botulinum toxin type A, each approved for cosmetic and therapeutic applications. Our clinic may select among these options based on individual client needs and treatment goals.
These substances are used in cosmetic and medical procedures to temporarily paralyze muscles, reducing their activity. In cosmetic treatments, they are primarily used to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing the muscles responsible for their formation.
Duration: 20 minutes.
BROW LIFT
A brow lift involves injecting botulinum toxin into specific muscles around the eyebrows, causing them to relax and gently lift. This technique helps reduce the appearance of sagging or drooping brows, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and provides noticeable results within a few days.
LIP FLIP/GUMMY SMILE
A lip flip with Botox® involves injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin into the upper lip muscles, creating a subtle upward curl for a fuller appearance. This quick and minimally invasive procedure provides noticeable results within weeks. In treating a gummy smile, Botox® is injected into the muscles that elevate the upper lip, reducing gum exposure when smiling. This helps achieve a balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
TEETH GRINDING
For jaw clenching and teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, Botox® injections can be administered into the muscles responsible for these actions. Botox® helps alleviate the tension and reduce the intensity of jaw clenching and teeth grinding. This can not only provide relief from associated discomfort such as jaw pain and headaches but also protect the teeth from damage caused by bruxism.
FACIAL SLIMMING
Facial slimming with Botox® involves injecting botulinum toxin into specific facial muscles, typically the masseter muscles, to reduce their size and prominence. By targeting these muscles, Botox® can create a more contoured and slimmer appearance to the face, particularly along the jawline and lower cheeks. This technique is often sought by individuals with a square or overly prominent jawline.
SWEATING (HYPERHIDROSIS)
For excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, Botox® can be injected into the affected areas, such as the underarms. This effectively reduces sweating by temporarily paralyzing these glands. It's an effective solution for those seeking relief from excessive sweating and its associated discomfort.
