What areas can be treated with Botox?

 
 
 

Botox, is one of the most powerful, popular and effective non- surgical treatments in aesthetic medicine. It acts to reduce wrinkles and achieving a smoother, more youthful appearance. Botox is widely known for its anti-wrinkle use, but it also has numerous medical applications. Dr Rozina Ali offers full face, partial and micro Botox treatments in Kensington:-

  • Frown/ Glabellar lines (11’s or vertical lines between the eyebrows)

  • Crow’s feet (lines fanning around the eyes when smiling or squinting)

  • Forehead lines (horizontal lines that appear across the forehead)

  • Bunny lines (wrinkles that appear on the sides of the nose)

  • Lip lines (smokers lines or fine lines around the mouth)

  • Gummy smile (excess gum show when smiling)

  • Cobblestone chin (puckering of the skin on the chin)

  • Neck bands (vertical or horizontal lines across the front of the neck)

Botox is a versatile treatment that has a range of medical applications beyond its ability to address the obvious signs of ageing.

  • Relax overactive muscles, including the muscles responsible for grinding teeth or clenching of jaw (bruxism)

  • Provide relief from migraines by blocking the release of the chemicals associated with the transmission of pain

  • Relax muscle spasm (torticollis)

  • Help with excess sweating (hands, feet, armpits)

 
 

When to start using Botox

Although there are no strict rules when it comes to starting to use this treatment, many people turn to the anti-wrinkle effects of Botox in their early 30s, to prevent dynamic lines and wrinkles from becoming permanent or static.

The ongoing use of non-surgical treatments has increasingly become a staple of self-care and in Kensington is very much a highly coveted component of many men and women’s grooming rituals.

Frequently Asked Botox Questions

  • Botox is a purified protein that’s injected into muscles to relax them by blocking certain chemical signals from nerves that cause muscle contractions. It’s made from Clostridium botulinum toxin and has been used for medical and cosmetic purposes since the 1980s. Botox injections are often used to temporarily relax the facial muscles that cause facial wrinkles, but it can also be helpful in treating other areas of the body, such as underarms, neck and hands.

    Botox was originally discovered by scientists who were studying bacteria called Clostridium botulinum in the 1970s. This type of bacteria occurs naturally in soil and water, which means that if you eat food that contains it without properly cooking it first (like improperly prepared fish or eggs), you could become ill or even die! But when used properly by a medical practitioner such as a licensed doctor, dentist or nurse practitioner, this toxin can help eliminate wrinkles on your face while keeping them safe from harm too!

  • Botox is a brand name for onobotulinumtoxin type A (botulinum toxin), a neurotoxic protein that is injected into specific muscles with a thin needle to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Botulinum Toxin injections prevent the release of certain chemical signals and messengers coming from nerves which provide a temporary reduction in muscle contraction and movement.

    Other brands of botulinum toxin available in the UK include Bocouture, Azzalure, Letybo and Nuceiva. New brands are emerging, but these are currently the most well-established and widely used. They are all approved for cosmetic use in adults.

  • The process of Botox injection takes only a few minutes and you can return to your normal activities immediately.

    The results of Botox will begin to be visible within days of the treatment, with the full effects being evident within two weeks.

  • No one knows how long Botox lasts. It varies from person to person and from area to area. Generally speaking, it lasts between three and six months. The most important thing is not how long it lasts but whether or not you are happy with the results.

  • Botox is safe for most people, but there are some groups of people who should not have Botox.

    • People with certain neuromuscular disorders such as Myasthenia Gravis

    • People who are taking certain muscle relaxants and certain antibiotics

    • People with inflammation or infection at the potential treatment site

    • Pregnant women: The solution to this problem is simple – women who are pregnant should not take Botox.

    • Pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is not enough data to suggest if it’s safe to use botox while pregnant or breastfeeding, It is best to be on the safe side and avoid treatment while you are pregnant or breastfeeding

    • People with certain conditions: People with bleeding disorders, such as haemophilia or von Willebrand disease, should not have any kind of injectable medication because it can cause them to bleed excessively or even die from an internal haemorrhage or an injury caused by uncontrolled bleeding after injection. In addition, anyone who has had previous reactions to botulinum toxin (also known as Botox) injections or any other injectable medications should not receive another injection when it is done under local anaesthesia because those symptoms will return if you have another one and could be worse than before the first time around!

  • Getting botox treatment takes only a few minutes but can vary depending on the treatment area. It’s injected with a fine needle into the muscles after they are assessed on animation by your medical practitioner to help find the right injection points.

    The treatment takes about 15-20 minutes.

  • Yes, you can go back to work after having Botox treatments. In fact, most people do just that! You rarely may have some mild bruising and swelling associated with the treatment. This is usually gone within a few days but if it doesn’t go away or becomes worse, make sure to call your doctor.

    It’s important not to wear make-up for at least 24 hours. You can also use cold packs and arnica cream (available online) to reduce bruising, swelling and redness of the skin around your eyes.

  • Staying out of the sun is important. You should also avoid the following:

    • Applying skin care products or makeup for the next 24 hours

    • Rubbing or massaging the treatment area 

    • Doing strenuous exercise that potentially can make you hot and sweaty

    • Going into saunas, spas, hot and steamy environment 

    • Using retin-A, alpha hydroxy or glycolic acids on your skin

    If you have any questions, consult your Doctor.
