Botulinum Toxin Injections

Botulinum toxin is a medication with a history spanning over 80 years, it functions by blocking key substances essential for nerve endings to connect with muscle motor endplates responsible for contractions. Its pharmacological impact also extends to sweat gland receptors, rendering it valuable for both aesthetic and medical applications.

Wrinkles and Expression Lines Treatment

For the temporary amelioration of expression lines, botulinum toxin serves as an efficient solution. Prominent areas like the forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and perioral lines are among the main benefits from this treatment.

Dynamic wrinkles are folds formed by the repetitive movement of facial expression muscles. Thanks to the effects of botulinum toxin, without a muscle constantly contracting beneath the skin, it will not fold, preventing the breaking of the dermis (skin) and, therefore, the appearance of wrinkles. For younger skin, it serves as an efficient preventive measure.

The process involves the intramuscular infiltration of botulinum toxin to the relevant facial expression muscles. Anticipating a duration of approximately four to five months, results tend to vary individually. The effects become apparent between the second and fourth day, reaching their full potential within seven to ten days. A follow-up consultation for potential touch-ups is advised on the tenth day following the initial application.

Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive and unnecessary sweating beyond what is needed for the regulation of body temperature. Its origin is idiopathic and typically appears during adolescence. Botulinum toxin represents the treatment of choice for treating hyperhidrosis in the armpits, palms of hands, and feet through a pharmacological denervation of sweat glands.

Specific criteria, including interference with daily activities, bilateral and symmetrical manifestation, onset before the age of 25, weekly occurrence, family history, and cessation during sleep, differentiate hyperhidrosis from usual sweating.

Bruxism Relief

Bruxism is a condition typified by the hypertrophy (enlargement) of the masseter muscles responsible for chewing.

Although it may derive from a bite condition, it often arises from anxiety and stress. Leading to a sustained contraction of these muscles, hence causing jaw pain, teeth grinding, and limited chewing.

Botulinum toxin has proven to be the ideal treatment to reduce the symptomatic consequences of this condition by relaxing these muscles, eliminating pain, and preventing dental wear and tear. This treatment is particularly beneficial for managing the symptomatic impact of bruxism, contributing to enhanced well-being.

Incorporating botulinum toxin into these therapies underscores its versatility and profound impact in enhancing both aesthetic and medical outcomes.
