Description:

Also referred to as onabotulinum toxin A, BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified protein and neurotoxin complex that, when injected directly into the muscle, will cause relaxation. Produced in a controlled laboratory setting from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum, BOTOX® Cosmetic works by blocking the chemical signal that allows for nerve impulses to be sent to the muscle and cause movement. Dynamic wrinkles are formed by repetitive creasing in the skin, from the facial expressions that we make on a daily basis. Over time these wrinkles can become large, deep and permanent. BOTOX® Cosmetic works by relaxing these muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, so the skin is given a chance to smooth out naturally. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

BOTOX Cosmetic Injection

What is BOTOX Cosmetic?
  • Also referred to as onabotulinum toxin A, BOTOX
    Cosmetic is a purified protein and neurotoxin
    complex that, when injected directly into the
    muscle, will cause relaxation. Produced in a
    controlled laboratory setting from the
    bacterium Clostridium Botulinum, BOTOX Cosmetic
    works by blocking the chemical signal that allows
    for nerve impulses to be sent to the muscle and
    cause movement.
  • Dynamic wrinkles are formed by repetitive
    creasing in the skin, from the facial expressions
    that we make on a daily basis. Over time these
    wrinkles can become large, deep and permanent.
    BOTOX Cosmetic works by relaxing these muscles
    that cause dynamic wrinkles, so the skin is given
    a chance to smooth out naturally.

  • A common misconception is that BOTOX Cosmetic
    will completely inhibit facial expression and
    movement. The goal of a treatment is to soften
    facial lines, while still providing patients with
    a natural appearance and the ability to display
    emotion.
  • As one of the most recognized prescription
    products in the world, BOTOX Cosmetic is a
    leading procedures in the cosmetic and aesthetics
    field.

How are BOTOX Cosmetic Injections Performed?
  • The first step is to schedule a free
    consultation with our professional injectionist
    experience administering BOTOX Cosmetic. we'll
    go over your health and medical history with you,
    discuss your goals, assess the areas you want to
    have treated, and will answer any questions you
    have.
  • We'll take some "before" photos so you can see
    the improvements the treatment makes. BOTOX
    Cosmetic comes in a clear glass vial in the form
    of a vacuum sealed powder. It will be diluted
    with a sterile, non-preserved 0.9 sodium
    chloride solution, and the injectionist will draw
    it up into a syringe.
  • We'll apply a topical numbing agent to your
    target treatment areas to reduce discomfort
    caused by the needle. The injections are made
    using a very fine needle (a 30 gauge), so
    discomfort is minimal. Just a few tiny pokes are
    needed per area, and the entire treatment will
    only take a few minutes

BOTOX Cosmetic Recovery and Results
  • After the treatment, we'll give you some BOTOX
    Cosmetic aftercare instructions to take home with
    you. The injection site may be a bit red with
    some slight swelling and/or bruising, but this
    will subside within a few days. You'll be able to
    return to your usual daily activities right away.
  • BOTOX Cosmetic results usually take 24 to 48
    hours to appear, and final results can take up to
    two weeks. The results can last on average from 3
    to 5 months, and vary from patient to patient.
    You will notice that gradual movement of the
    treatment area will return if you do not receive
    another injection treatment.
  • It's been noted that over time, when patients
    keep up with their scheduled injections, the
    results last longer, and the time between
    subsequent treatments may be extended.

Common BOTOX Cosmetic Treatment Areas
  • BOTOX Cosmetic is used to treat a few specific
    areas of the face, including
  • Upper Forehead Lines  The horizontal lines on
    the forehead are caused by raising the eyebrows,
    which is due to the contraction of
    the frontalis muscle. Raising the eyebrows is
    often a result of surprise or worry, or simply to
    gain clearer vision. Those with heavy brows and
    lids may engage in this motion more often, which
    can cause wrinkles to form earlier, and be
    deeper.

  • Crow's Feet  A muscle called the orbicularis
    oculi is what makes it possible for us to blink,
    close our eyes, and squint. It's located around
    the eyelid, and extends to the temple and upper
    part of the cheek. Years of moving the eyelids
    and squinting in bright sunlight eventually cause
    lateral canthal lines, more commonly known as
    crow's feet.
  • Frown Lines Who knew such tiny muscles could
    cause so much trouble? The corrugator supercilii
    are located in the forehead and around the eyes,
    and most notably, at the beginning of the
    eyebrows near the bridge of the nose. Every time
    we frown or make a confused or worried
    expression, these tiny muscles contract, bringing
    the eyebrows together, and causing deep vertical
    furrows just above the nose.

Wrinkle Types Treated with BOTOX Cosmetic
  • As we age, our faces develop two distinct types
    of wrinkles static and dynamic. BOTOX Cosmetic
    is ideal for treating dynamic wrinkles, but you
    have other options for static wrinkles
  • Dynamic Wrinkles  These lines and wrinkles form
    as a result of muscle movement. Every time we
    smile, frown, laugh, cry, or make any other kind
    of facial expression, the muscles contract, and
    skin is pulled, pushed and folded. Over time,
    this repetitive movement causes lines, wrinkles
    and furrows on the face.Because BOTOX Cosmetic
    works by blocking the chemical signal that allows
    for nerve impulses to be sent to the muscle and
    cause movement, it's best for treating dynamic
    wrinkles.

  • Static Wrinkles Even when the muscles in the
    face aren't moving, lines and wrinkles are being
    formed, and are called static wrinkles. They
    result from the skin's natural aging process,
    which means decreased elasticity and thinner
    skin, both of which make it more susceptible to
    wrinkling.
  • Because static wrinkles are not a result of
    muscle movement, BOTOX Cosmetic is not an
    effective treatment. Instead, dermal fillers are
    a better option to plump and smooth the skin.

BOTOX Cosmetic Side Effects
  • No medical procedure is without risk. When you
    receive BOTOX Cosmetic injections, possible side
    effects include, but are not limited to
  • Tiredness
  • Discomfort
  • Pain at the injection site
  • Headache
  • Droopy eye
  • Allergic reaction
