Botox
Botox is a cosmetic treatment that uses a purified protein to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. Botox procedure at Body Lab is a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. These injections also treat medical conditions, including migraines, hyperhidrosis, overactive bladder, and eye problems.
At Body Lab, we have two options for Botox treatment: Allergan and Xeomin.
Botox, developed by Allergan, is a well-known brand that has been used for many years to treat a variety of cosmetic concerns. It temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles, allowing them to relax and smooth out over time.
On the other hand, Xeomin is a newer alternative to Allergan that Merz Aesthetics
introduced. It uses the same active ingredient as Botox but is formulated without
additives, making it a purer option. Xeomin is an effective treatment for wrinkles and fine lines and can also treat conditions such as blepharospasm and cervical dystonia.
Allergan and Xeomin are safe and effective treatments that can deliver excellent results when administered by a trained and experienced medical professional.
Questions
We got the answers.
The magic behind Botox injections lies in its ability to block nerve signals that control muscle contractions. When these nerve signals are blocked, the muscles relax and cannot contract. As a result, the overlying skin appears smoother and less wrinkled. One of the critical aspects that make Botox so popular is its versatility.
- Frown lines
- Forehead lines
- Bunny lines- top of the nose
- Eyebrows/hooded eyes
- Crow’s feet- wrinkles around the eyes
- Tear trough- under the eyes
- Lipstick lines- lines around the mouth
- Chin (to prevent dimpling)
- Jawline & Neck
- Armpits
- Palms
- Trapezius muscles (for slimming )
The number of units of required botox per area can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the wrinkles or lines being treated. However, on average, the following units are typically needed per area:
- Forehead: 10-20 units
- Glabellar lines: 20-30 units
- Crow’s feet: 5-15 units per side
- Brow lift: 10-20 units
- Armits: 40-50 units per each
When injected into the armpit area, Botox works by blocking the chemical signals that activate the sweat glands. This reduces the amount of sweat produced in the treated area, helping to keep you feeling dry and comfortable all day.
The procedure is quick and relatively painless, with most patients experiencing little to no discomfort during the injection process. And because the effects of Botox are temporary, you can expect to see results that last for several months before needing a repeat treatment.
All our highly skilled and experienced doctors perform the Botox treatment, ensuring you receive the best possible care and results. They will carefully assess your unique needs and work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan targeting your concerns.
