It stops the transmission of impulses between the nerves and muscles, which causes the muscles to relax and the wrinkles to become stretched and disappear for some time.

Botox is designed for people who want to get rid of wrinkles mainly in the upper part of the face, or the wrinkles of expression. These are the wrinkles that often occur in very young people because they are associated with vivid facial expressions. In case of very deep wrinkles and deeply fixed, it may be necessary to supplement the procedure by filling the wrinkles with hyaluronic acid.

The treatment is short. Depending on the number of treated places (injection points), it takes about 15-20 minutes. The pain associated with the injection is minimal. The treatment does not require local anesthesia. The botulinum toxin starts to work 2-3 days after the injection.

Indications

Botulinum toxin is widely used in the removal of wrinkles:

• between the eyebrows ("lion's" wrinkles, smooth part of the forehead)
• horizontal lines on the forehead
• around the eyes (crow's feet)
• in the treatment of hyperhidrosis and bruxism.

In the treatment of bruxism, botox is used as a complementary treatment. It paralyzes the muscles, so they do not tighten and the symptoms of teeth grinding decrease.

The product is administered precisely in the masseter muscles in such an amount that it weakens them, but at the same time allows for normal functioning and does not interfere with chewing. In addition to improving the comfort of life, the change in the shape of the face is noticeable - the features become smoother and the oval of the face, more rounded.

The problem disappears for 3 to 6 months. Then it is advisable to repeat the procedure every six months for 2-3 years. After this time, there is a possibility that the muscles will stop clenching on their own.
