What is Botox?

​

Botox is a substance of natural origin widely known in the medical field and even more so in the aesthetic field.

​

Sectors that can  to be treated are:

- vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows;

​

- fan wrinkles at the corner of the eyes;

​

- forehead wrinkles observed at the maximum elevation of the eyebrows,

​

How does botox work?  

​

  Botox works by preventing muscle contraction, resulting in a natural and reversible relaxation of the treated muscle.

​

The direct action of Botox is not to correct the volume of the wrinkle with a filling (instead an action typical of fillers), but to cause a block of muscle contraction.

​

​

Is the treatment painful? Do you need anesthesia?

​

Using thin needles (30-32G) the treatment is  absolutely painless. Local anesthesia is not necessary.

​

How is the procedure carried out? How long does it last?

​

After a thorough evaluation e  disinfection of the area the doctor will proceed to design the points to be treated  with a dermographic pen. The whole process takes no more than 30 minutes.

​

​

What will I need to do after the procedure? How long does the desired effect last? How long does it take to see results?

​

Immediately after the procedure, in order to avoid even the smallest bruising, it is a good idea to keep the instant ice supplied by us for about 60 minutes on the treated areas.

It is also important to follow these simple rules:

​

- avoid going to bed before 3h from the treatment;

- avoid using boiling water to wash the area in the 48 hours following the procedure;

- avoid making excessive physical efforts in the 48 hours following the procedure;

​

The desired effect lasts 5-6 months in relation to numerous factors. Often with the progress of the treatments there is an increase in the duration of the efficacy time.

​

The effect begins to be visible after about a week to get the maximum effect after about 3 weeks from the session.

​

The doctors of the practice, who perform aesthetic medicine services, are exclusively specialists and plastic surgeons who are members of the "Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine-SIME"
