Indications for botulinum therapy
The procedure is used to solve many cosmetic and medical issues that significantly improve the patient's quality of life and significantly improve his self-esteem. Next, we will analyze some of the indications for buying Botox injections in the selected clinic.
-
Correction of facial wrinkles
The most common indication for the use of botulinum toxin is the elimination of wrinkles that arise due to the active work of the facial muscles. Skin folds are formed as a result of laughter, frowning, a surprised look, etc.
Botulinum toxin is usually injected into the forehead, between the eyebrows ("wrinkles of anger"), and around the eyes ("crow's feet"). With the help of the substance, even the most pronounced folds on the skin can be eliminated, which other cosmetic procedures cannot cope with.
-
Treatment of hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating, which can significantly reduce the quality of life, is called hyperhidrosis. Botulinum toxin therapy helps block the activity of sweat glands, thereby reducing sweat secretion in problem areas such as the armpits, palms or feet.
-
Treatment of muscle hypertonicity
Another common problem is a condition where muscles are constantly tense. Hypertonicity of muscles can occur as a result of diseases of the nervous system or injuries. Botulinum therapy helps relieve excess tone, reduce pain and improve motor activity.
The substance affects the nervous system, preventing the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting nerve impulses to muscle tissue. Without these signals, the muscles stop contracting and go into a state of rest. Wrinkles that arise as a result of active facial expressions disappear, and tense areas of the body relax.
The result of Botox injections for wrinkles begins to appear a few days after the injections, reaching a peak in about one to two weeks. The effect lasts on average from three to six months.
Procedure process
Botox injections can be done with minimal preparation, quickly and relatively painlessly. All manipulations usually take from 15 to 30 minutes.
Let's look at the main steps that an injection procedure includes:
- Consultation. The cosmetologist conducts an examination, analyzes the condition of the skin, identifies target areas for injections, determines the required number of units of the drug, and discusses the desired result with the client
- Preparatory stage. The skin surfaces are treated with antiseptics. If necessary, local anesthetics are applied.
- Injection phase. With a thin needle, the specialist injects the drug into the selected points. The number of injections is determined individually, based on the area of impact
- Final part. At the end of the procedure, the doctor gives recommendations for further care of the treated areas
It is important to understand that the effect of the drug cannot be seen immediately - some time must pass after the cosmetic intervention.
To achieve the best results and prevent possible complications after the procedure, it is important to follow several rules:
- Avoid touching and massaging the injection areas during the first 24 hours - this will help prevent uneven distribution of the drug
- Limit physical activity, visiting a bathhouse and sauna in the next two to three days - tissues should not be exposed to additional stress factors
- Try not to lean forward for four to six hours after the session - this is necessary to ensure that the drug does not affect areas that do not need correction
- Use moisturizing cosmetics to maintain an optimal level of skin hydration
If you follow these recommendations, the recovery process is easy and quick.

What is botulinum therapy?
A cosmetic procedure called botulinum therapy involves the introduction of botulinum toxin directly into the skin and muscle tissue. The substance disables the transmission of signals from the nervous system to the muscles for a certain period of time, which causes them to relax. Due to this, expression wrinkles are eliminated, and nerve impulses that cause excessive sweating or hypertonicity are blocked.
Despite the fact that Botox injections are known for their toxic effects, microscopically small doses of the substance are used in cosmetology practice, which are safe for human health. The procedure is carried out by experienced specialists, which reduces the risk of side effects to a minimum. Affordable price and good reviews make Botox injections even more popular.
