BOTOX® or Botulinum Toxin works by blocking the nerve impulse where the nerves join the muscle or sweat gland. The molecules of injected toxin are absorbed by the nerve endings over several hours or days, leading to a gradual reduction in function. The muscle never gets the signal to contract - it's a bit like cutting a phone line. Over the next three months, the nerve remains blocked, but then the product is broken down and removed by the body allowing normal function to return. Why BOTOX®? As we age, our skin gradually produces less and less collagen, and inevitably, gravity starts to take over and the skin begins to sag. The Result? The result differs between patients, and our medical team will talk you through your individual needs to give you the best, and most importantly, natural looking outcome. After Botulinum Toxin Injections, you can expect to see frown lines decreased, sagging brows lifted, 'crow's feet' smoothed out, and in some cases, completely eliminated and the skin will appear smoother and more youthful. Botulinum Toxin Injections are less suitable for use around the mouth, as they can limit the use of the muscles needed to perform normal speech. Our doctors will recommend alternative injectable substances to target this area. They can, however, be used to lift the corners of the mouth for a more youthful facial contour. Is It Safe? Yes, completely, but it is very important to ensure that your treatment is administered by a qualified, experienced injector. Our injections are performed by Doctors and Nurses with years of experience of injecting the skin. At Cap City Cosmetic, you can be confident that you will receive the best possible advice and treatment from professionals. end |
