BOTOX is a toxin with a protein structure that binds to receptors in the neuromuscular junction and prevents muscle contraction. The prevention of muscle contraction contributes to removing wrinkles and giving a more youthful appearance and a smooth, attractive face without any defects. Botox injections with all its techniques are available at Perla Dermatology Clinic under the supervision of Dr. Inas Musa.
It is considered to be one of the most common cosmetic procedures that are performed globally due to its high effectiveness, safety, ease of procedure and very few side effects.
Botox has been used safely since the seventies of the last century for cosmetic and medical indications as well (correction of strabismus, relief of migraine pain, spasticity).
Features To Start Using Botox
Botox Effectiveness
The effectiveness of Botox injections lasts for six months, after that its effect disappears due to the demise of the substance from the muscles, and the neuromuscular activity returns and the nerve signals that cause muscle contraction return to occur, so the injection must be repeated after this period and this period may vary from one region to another where it is shorter in the area around the eye (about 4 months) and longer in the glabella (about 6 to 8 months), and the result of the injection needs a period of up to about two weeks to give the ideal result.
preventive measure
There is no specific age to start Botox injections, and it is worth noting that it is considered a preventive and curative method, as its early use leads to relaxation of the muscles that cause the appearance of wrinkles and thus wrinkles are not digged into the skin, which makes the response to it better, while the old fixed wrinkles that exist even when the lack of muscle contraction, it is poorly responding to Botox (it improves but is not completely removed after the injection), so Botox is considered a preventive measure from the formation of these difficult to treat wrinkles.
Botox contributes to the removal of motor wrinkles (which are wrinkles that appear when muscles contract). Within Perla Dermatology Clinic injections can be made in several areas, the most common of which are: the forehead, around the eyes and glabella, crow’s feet lines near the eyelids, the area around the mouth, the neck, soft smoking lines that form around the mouth and many other areas.
It can also be injected in areas where excessive sweating occurs, as it has proven effective in reducing sweating, and it is usually injected to achieve this purpose in the underarm area. It can also be injected superficially into the dermis of the skin after diluting and then called (Mesobotox or Baby Botox) to help treat many skin problems, including acne, as well as give the skin luster and freshness. Botox is also used around the mouth to correct a gummy smile in people whose gums are clearly visible when smiling.
Botox is considered safe as the side effects of its use occur in very rare cases (anaphylaxis, eyelid drooping that improves spontaneously later, bacterial infection…).
With Dr. Inas Musa the injection procedure is painless, it is done using a very thin needle and usually does not require anesthesia,
it is carried out at Perla Dermatology Clinic and the patient returns to his daily routine directly.
Small bruises may form where the needle was inserted and go away within days without leaving any mark.
