Botulinum toxin

Botulinum exotoxin (BTX) injections are usually used in procedures used to improve facial aesthetics. These procedures are highly successful in smoothening hyperdynamic lines (horizontal frown lines, glabellar lines and crows feet in the upper face.

In recent years, BTX has been increasingly used in mid and lower face aswell as in excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), spastic and dystonic muscle disorders.

Adjunctive use of BTX A with laser resurfacing or soft tissue augmentation is particaularly beneficial in mimicly active facial areas such as the periorbital, perioral and glabellar areas.

The effect of Botox injections may last upto 6 months and with repeated injections, there is a tendency for later injections to provide aesthetic improvements that last longer!
