What Is Botox?
Botox is a cosmetic treatment derived from botulinum toxin, which temporarily paralyzes muscles by shutting down nerve signals. In small, controlled doses, Botox treatment in Dubai is injected into specifically targeted muscles to help diminish the look of wrinkles and fine lines, especially on the face. It is usually used to treat areas such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows. Since these are temporary effects, they usually last up to three to four months. This is why people just love this non-invasive way of giving one a youthful and refreshed look.
Who Needs Botox Fillers?
Botox fillers in UAE are most in demand by those who want to lessen the visible facial wrinkles and prevent new ones. Ideal candidates experience:
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet or lines around the eyes
- Frown lines located between the eyebrows
- Neck bands or visible muscles along the neck
Botox fillers can be beneficial for those with medical conditions, such as:
- Chronic migraines
- Excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis
- Muscle spasms
- Overactive bladder
Side Effects of Botox Injection
There are some common side effects that one might face after the Botox treatment, some of which are mentioned below.
Bruising at the Injection Site
Mild bruising at the site of injection is quite common with Botox injections. In general, Botox injections in Abu Dhabi are done by using very fine needles which usually cause small bruises that resolve themselves within a few days to a week or more.
Redness or Swelling
Temporary redness or swelling around the injection area is one of the most common side effects. It commonly resolves within hours after the treatment. Applying a cold compress may help alleviate this.
Drooping Eyelids (Ptosis)
Although they are not very common, one of the more noticeable side effects of Botox is a drooping eyelid or eyebrow, especially when injected around the eye area (such as treating crow’s feet). This happens if the toxin inadvertently spills over to nearby muscles. It usually is only temporary and resolves within weeks, but can be alarming for many patients.
Pain or Tenderness
Most patients experience some form of discomfort, pain, or tenderness at the injection site, but this usually resolves shortly after injection.
Asymmetry
Very rarely, the outcomes from using Botox can appear to be asymmetrical or uneven, with one side of the face seemingly different from the other. This is often a result of uneven injection techniques and the issues are easily rectified with follow-up treatment.
Allergic Reactions
In very rare cases, Botox can cause an allergic reaction. Symptoms may include itching, rash, wheezing, or difficulty in breathing. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should seek immediate medical attention.
Botox Treatment Procedure
The procedure of Botox is relatively quick and non-invasive, but knowledge about the procedure will ease your way through it. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect from start to finish
- Consultation: In the consultation, your professional will check on your health history, talk to you about the aesthetic goals, assess the areas to be treated, and determine that Botox will find use in your needs and expectations.
- Pre-treatment preparations: Pre-treatment preparations will include cleaning the sites of injection and you may be given some topical numbing cream to reduce discomfort. Thus, this allows for the establishment of a sterile environment for a safe procedure.
- Botox Treatment: Fine needles are used to inject Botox into targeted muscles. It is a quick process that only takes 10-20 minutes, and most people feel minimal discomfort during the procedure.
- Aftercare: Avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area, keep upright for 4 hours, and avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours. There might be minor swelling or bruising but this is usually resolved very quickly.
