Botox Treatment

Aging is an inevitable process that brings various changes to the human body. Wrinkles and fine lines are the most prominent and appear first. These wrinkles and fine lines can be a source of worry for various people. To get rid of them, people use advertised chemical products that promise to do so. These products harm their skin and lead to severe problems with expenses.

It is botox. So if you are looking for a reasonably satisfactory botox cosmetic treatment, you are in the right place. Dr. Puneet Madan is one of the leading dermatologists delivering the best treatment in New Delhi.

Before planning, it’s essential to know about the botox procedure and the other factors.

What is Botox?

Botox is a famous cosmetic treatment for attaining youthful skin. It is a minimally invasive injectable that comprises several toxins that can work as a wrinkle muscle relaxer and an effective treatment for fine lines over the face.

Botox survived because it was the first medication to use botulinum toxin. With advancement, some other products presently incorporate toxins, such as incobotulinumtoxinA (Xeomin) and others. Each toxin has a slight difference, mainly in dosage divisions, so these toxins are not switchable.

We employ the botox cosmetic treatment to decrease wrinkles and fine lines. However, they can also treat conditions like:

1. Neck spasms 
2. Hyperhidrosis 
3. Chronic migraines 
4. Overactive bladder 
5. Lazy eye 
6. Lower limb spasticity

How does botox treatment works?

The botox cosmetic comprises several toxins, like Botulinum Toxin Type A. It is a type of food poison elicited by the microbe that produces botulism. This toxin is known as onabotulinumtoxinA.These toxins temporarily paralyze the muscles and block the nerve signals, which reduces facial wrinkles and enhances the graceful appearance of the face. This process inhibits muscle contractions, restraining the fine lines.

Preparing for Botox cosmetic treatment

Botox is a non-surgical, minimally invasive, in-office procedure. So it doesn’t impose any massive preparation. The patient must disclose their complete medical history, allergies, and any medical complications to the respective certified doctor before the treatment procedure.

Steps of preparation before botox-

1. Cleaning the treatment area to attain better results. 
2. The patient is advised to avoid blood-thinning medicines to lessen the chance of bruising. 
3. The patient is advised not to stress and asked to relax. 

Areas that can be treated with Botox

Botox cosmetics can be infiltrated into the following areas of the face :

• The space between the eyebrows medically known as the glabellar region, to treat frown lines. 
• The area around the eyes comprises "crow’s feet" lines.
• Cheeks to treat cheek wrinkles 
• The area from the corners of the mouth to the chin to treat marionette lines.

The procedure for Botox injectables

Botox is a minimally invasive procedure because it does not require any incisions or general anesthesia infiltration.The application of topical anesthesia can avoid mild pain or discomfort.

Procedure Steps

1. application of topical anesthesia or ice to numb the treatment area.
2. administration of three to five injections of botulinum with a thin needle.
3. administration of type A botulinum toxin into the area of treatment.
4. It infiltrated all the targeted areas with botox, and the treatment ended.

The entire process usually takes roughly 10–15 minutes.

There is little to no rest expected after the procedure. The patient is eligible to resume normal activities shortly after the treatment.
