What is Botox?
Botox’s full name is BOtulinum TOXin, commonly referred to as BOTOX. It is a substance that inhibits muscle activity, reducing their movements. Botox’s effects on the muscles last only 4-6 months, hence the result of a Botox injection lasts for 4-6 months. After Botox wears off, the muscles return to their normal function as before the injection 100%.
The various wrinkles on our face are caused by excessive muscle contractions, resulting from frequent use of those muscles. For example, people who habitually frown often develop wrinkles on their forehead, and those who squint frequently may easily develop crow’s feet. The most effective, safe, and precise solution to address wrinkles is Botox injections. After Botox is injected into the areas with wrinkles, it prevents the muscles from moving, thereby eliminating the wrinkles.
Botox origin from strabismus? Is Botox safe?
Botox has been used in medicine for over thirty years. Initially, it was injected into the eye muscle by an ophthalmologist to treat strabismus. The treatment was effective and had no side effects. Later on, a dermatologist noticed that strabismus patients treated with Botox had no wrinkles at the outer corners of their eyes. This is the starting point for Botox to be used in the dermatology industry. Therefore, patients can be confident about the safety of Botox.
Is it true that wrinkles accumulated over ten years Botox injections can be healed in one day?
Yes, wrinkles can get better after just one Botox injection. After Botox injections, you will not see immediate result. You will begin to see results after two weeks after treatment and will see full results in four weeks.
How is Botox lifting different from Wrinkle Botox injections?
In standard Botox injections, the doctor injects Botox into the muscle layer to halt muscle activity, which results in the disappearance of facial wrinkles. It is recommended for treating forehead lines, crow’s feet, etc. Meanwhile, Botox lifting involves injecting Botox into the superficial skin layers around the jawline and under the chin to stimulate collagen contraction in these areas. The result is a more contoured, slimmer facial appearance with a more defined jawline.
Which brand of Botox is worth the price ?
Nowadays, there are many brands of botox. Each brand has different advantages and disadvantages. This depends on individual preference. At Peace Clinic, there are two brands of botox which are Allergan and Aestox brand. Both brands are certified by Thai FDA. Both brand gives effective result the difference is the duration and the manufacturer.
Allergan is from America. One injection lasts up to 6 months. Wrinkles are reduced and feels more natural. The chance of drug resistance is very low due to the high purity of the molecule. The price is reasonable compared to the result.
Xeomin is from Germany. One injection lasts up to 4 months. It is claimed that it is one of the purest Botox.
Aestox is from Korea. One injection lasts for 4 months. Wrinkles are reduced and the price is more reachable than the American brands.
Which brand of Botox can cause droopy eyes or a crooked smile after injection?
Regardless of the brand of Botox used, if the doctor has a good understanding and expertise in the anatomy of facial muscles, post-Botox treatment should result in a beautiful smile just as before, with the additional benefit of having no wrinkles. There will definitely not be any incidents of droopy eyes or a crooked smile. Therefore, patients can choose to have Botox from any brand at Peace Clinic without fear of these side effects.
However, if the patient has been injected with botox and get distorted smile, there is no need to worry because when Botox is dissolve, the muscles go back as normal 100%.The next option is dissolving Botox with thermal energy. At Peace Clinic, we have a Radio Frequency (RF) laser machine to treat patients who are not satisfied with the results of Botox. Patients concerned about the outcome can come in for a consultation at the clinic beforehand.
How to Prevent Drug-Resistant Botox
-
Always try to inject the same brand of botox. Switching brand back and forth will cause the body to get confused and cause a resistant reaction to Botox.
-
Each Botox injection should be separated at least three months apart. If the injection is too frequent, it can cause botox resistance.
-
We recommend choosing a higher purity botox in order to reduce the chances of botox resistance.
-
Choose genuine Botox. This will prevents the body from acquiring bad molecules that may trigger resistance to Botox.
