Botox how does it work?

• Botox is a muscle relaxant
• Botox PREVENTS wrinkle progression
• Botox can be used with all other types of
  anti-aging treatments

9
How does Botox work?

• Relaxes the muscles which cause the wrinkles
  formed by movement.
• Botox is both preventative in future wrinkle
  development and active in treating current
  wrinkles
• Fillers can be used in conjunction with Botox for
  additional reduction of the wrinkles at rest
  (crush damage)

10
How Botox works

• Botox is absorbed by the nerve root that supplies
  the overactive muscle.

11
Signal is blocked from nerve to muscle

• Once inside cell, botox release of a substance
  called acetylcholine
• This is what stops the nerve from activating the
  muscle

12
What happens as the Botox wears off?

• Botox needs to be repeated every several months -
  the nerves regrow and the muscles resume
  activity.
• Results tend to last longer with subsequent
  treatments (as a result of muscle weakening)
• It will take up to 7-10 days to see the results
  after the first treatment

13
How Botox wears off

• The nerve begins to grow a new contact point with
  the muscle

14
Botox wears off

• The new nerve muscle junction begins to work and
  the wrinkles return
• It is now time for retreatment

15
Botox Expectations

• Botox prevents further wrinkle progression when
  used regularly
• Botox acts at the level of the muscle it cannot
  remove crush-damage that already exists in the
  skin this refers to wrinkles you have at rest.
• Botox may relieve headaches in some people
• Satisfaction rates with Botox exceed 95

How long do the effects last?

• First treatments wear off the fastest
• Avg. 3 months
• Subsequent treatments last longer
• Avg. 4-6 months
• Results vary, some people experience results for
  longer or shorter periods
• Longevity can be improved by increasing the dose
  of Botox in subsequent sessions

17
Any side effects?

• Most individuals do not experience any
• If there is a side effect, the most common are
  related to the fact that an injection has been
  given and include
• Slight tenderness at the injection site
• Pin point bleeding very brief
• Transient swelling very brief, like an insect
  bite
• Temporary bruising can be concealed if desired
• Unlikely chance of local infection

18

  applying make up, taking your routine
  medications, working, exercise, etc)

26
Injected Fillers

• Dermal Fillers are used in
• Lip enhancement
• Volume replacement
• Wrinkles and folds

27
How do injectable fillers work?

• Quite simply fancy Jello
• A small needle is used to position the filler
  under the wrinkle or in an area of volume loss
• Immediate results!

28
What are injectable fillers made of?

• Hylauronic acid and/or Collagen
• A naturally occurring gel found in our eyes and
  in our joints
• The gel is made in a laboratory, as a copy of our
  own naturally occurring type
• No animals or other human products are used in
  its production

29
How long do the effects last?

• Individual results do vary, however, the average
  person experiences 4-8 months of correction
• As the gel breaks down, return for another session

30
Where does the filler go when it breaks down?

• The filler breaks down into smaller pieces
• Eventually the pieces dissolve down into water
  and is fully absorbed removed by the body
• No trace of the filler remains after it has been
  broken down

31
Is there anyone who cant be treated?

• As there are no studies during pregnancy, we opt
  not to treat women who are currently pregnant
• Allergy to Hylauronic acid is very rare, but we
  can not treat anyone who has had an allergic
  reaction in the past

32
How do I prepare for treatment?

• Treatments require 30-60 minutes
• Often a topical freezing is required
• Please use a freezing cream if you have no
  history of allergy to freezing.

33
Aftercare

• Using a needle to inject the gel disturbs the
  tissue
• In response to the stimulation the tissue will be
  pink and there will be some swelling
• In general
• Facial lines/wrinkles - mild swelling 1-2 days
• Lips moderate swelling 2-4 days

34
Aftercare decrease swelling

• Cool compress to reduce swelling dramatically
• Compress frequently starting right after your
  treatment 10 min at a time
