No one wants to grow older, but it is inevitable. As we age, we may get wisdom and experience, but we also get fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and creases!
What if we could stop aging in its tracks and achieve the youthful, stunning appearance everyone desires? Many people wonder if it is possible to get smooth and wrinkle-free skin without surgery. The perfect solution for this is botox treatments!
Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is a drug or neurotoxin that is produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It may sound scary, but it is completely safe. In fact, doctors have been using botox for years to treat fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox treatment is an effective, risk-free, and low downtime solution to deal with the signs of aging. The results of the botox facial treatment can be seen after the very first session.
Botox injections are also a popular way to treat chronic migraines, neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive sweating, and an overactive bladder.
During botox treatment, the drug is directly injected in the appropriate amounts where there are wrinkles and fine lines. After it is directly injected into the muscle, the muscle is temporarily paralyzed. The nerve signal to that muscle is temporarily blocked, causing the muscle to relax. This causes the formation of wrinkles in that area to pause and restores a youthful appearance.
When a patient comes to Arra Aesthetics, Pune, for a botox treatment, Dr. Vasant Gholave will first guide them through the entire procedure in detail. He will discuss the most likely results of the treatment and the possible side effects of botox with the patient.
During the consultation, Dr. Vasant Gholave will discuss the patient’s entire medical history with the patient. In particular, he will inquire about any allergies the patient may have, as his priority is the safety of the patient. Dr. Vasant Gholave will also listen to the needs and desires of the patient and make sure that the patient has realistic expectations of the treatment.
First, markings are made where the botox needs to be injected.
Anesthesia is not required for botox treatment.
Dr. Vasant Gholave will carefully inject the toxin so that there is no damage to the nerves or the underlying structure.
The amount of injections required for botox treatment depends on the number of wrinkles that need to be treated and the facial structure of the patient.
Botox treatment can be completed in 15 to 45 minutes.
It may take up to 10 days for the toxin to completely display its results.
After the treatment, the patient will be advised to apply ice on the injection site to reduce bruising and prevent swelling. The doctor will also advise the patient to avoid massaging or applying pressure to the injected site as this may cause the botox to move and affect the results.
Generally, the results of botox are not permanent and need to be “touched up” after 3 to 6 months.
The risks and side effects of botox treatment are:
Slight bruising and redness that will disappear over time
Temporary change in muscle sensation during and after treatment
Facial features may droop temporarily
Unsatisfactory results
Sensitive patients may suffer from headache, nausea, dry mouth, and slight fever after treatment
Botox treatment side effects are very rare and at Arra Aesthetics, we take utmost care to ensure the safety and satisfaction of our patients.
