What is Botox Treatment | Botox Injection?

Botox treatment is a cosmetic and therapeutic procedure designed to improve both appearance and comfort by reducing wrinkles and fine lines. This facial rejuvenation method minimizes dynamic wrinkles such as those on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the brows. Using Botulinum Toxin (Botox), a protein that temporarily relaxes facial muscles, the treatment effectively smooths existing wrinkles while preventing new ones from forming.

How Does Botox Injection Work?

Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions that lead to wrinkle formation. Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the nerve endings. When injected into targeted muscles, this action temporarily interrupts the communication between nerves and muscles, leading to muscle relaxation and, subsequently smoother skin.

What to Expect During Botox Injection

Below is the step-by-step process for receiving a Botox treatment:

1. Cleansing & Numbing:
   The treatment area is carefully cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied by the dermatologist to minimize discomfort.
2. Marking the Injection Site:
   After the numbing cream has taken effect (typically 15-20 minutes), the injection sites are precisely marked to ensure accurate administration.
3. Botox Injection Application:
   Using a fine needle, Botox is injected into the targeted muscles. Most patients feel only a slight pinch or brief sting. The number of injections will depend on the treatment area and specific dosage requirements.
4. Gentle Massage:
   A gentle massage is performed to ensure even distribution of the Botox. Patients are then provided with detailed aftercare guidelines.

• Do not take any medications or supplements unless advised by your doctor.
• Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area.
• Maintain a straight posture when resting.
