Cosmetic Injections
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Botox is used medically to treat certain muscular conditions, and cosmetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing muscles. It is made from a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin that is produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum.
THE PROCEDURE

Just before the actual treatment, the area will be cleaned.
-
Botulinum toxin is administered by diluting the powder in saline and injecting it directly into neuromuscular tissue.
-
It takes 24-72 hours for botulinum toxin to take effect.

In very rare circumstances, it may take as long as 5 days for the full effect of botulinum toxin to be observed.
-
Botulinum toxin should not be used in pregnant or lactating women, or by people who have had a previous allergic reaction to the drug or any of its ingredients.
