Procedures
Neuromodulators (Botox Cosmetic™)
Neurotoxin injections, such as Botox or Xeomin, are utilized to block nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions, primarily targeting facial muscles to reduce wrinkles. This procedure is also effective in managing excessive sweating. Suitable candidates include individuals seeking to diminish wrinkles or alleviate sweating-related concerns.

How It Works
Evaluation and Preparation
Hyperactive muscle areas are assessed. Skin is disinfected prior to injections.
Injection Process
Fine needles are used to administer neurotoxin into targeted muscles. Ice or vibration may be applied to alleviate discomfort.
Expected Results
Muscle relaxation typically occurs within 2 – 10 days. Peak effect is reached around 2 weeks after the procedure.
Treatment Duration
Depending on the areas treated, sessions last between 10 to 20 minutes. For sweating treatment, multiple injections cover the affected area.
Aftercare
Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising may occur post-treatment. Potential side effects include headache, neck pain, or flu-like symptoms. Avoid rubbing the treated area for 12 hours and refrain from sleeping on your face the first night.
Recovery and Maintenance
Muscles regain function as neurotoxin breaks down. Repeat injections are typically required every 4-6 months for wrinkle reduction. Sweating management may necessitate maintenance every 8-10 months.
