Medical Aesthetics
The repeated movement of facial muscles causes wrinkling of the overlying skin. Over time, as the skin becomes less elastic, the lines become etched and wrinkles are visible even when muscles are not contracting. These lines can give an impression of anger, anxiety, sadness or fatigue.
Neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport or Xeomin are a purified protein that relaxes the muscles responsible for wrinkles, creating a softened, refreshed, younger look. It is a simple, quick, non-surgical treatment that gets natural-looking results.
It is injected in small doses. By inhibiting the nerve impulses that contract the muscles that cause wrinkles, the muscles relax and wrinkles fade. The discomfort is minimal, often described as a small bug bite lasting just seconds. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment. The effects become apparent after 2 to 3 days and reach their peak after 7 to 10 days.
