What is Botox cosmetics?

Botox or botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin used for medical and aesthetic purposes since it has a blocking effect that prevents the neurotransmitter function performed by muscle contractions. It is made from a bacterium that it's called Clostridium Botulinum. It was initially used as a treatment for certain medical conditions, such as tremors in the eyelids, neuromuscular diseases, and facial nerve disorders. Then was implemented to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines, without causing damage to our health. Botox procedure is considered a non-invasive procedure, so there is no contraindication, as long as it is correctly applied.

This cosmetic procedure is indicated for dynamic wrinkles of the face and can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve better results.

How does Botox work?

Wrinkles and fine lines occur on our faces over the years, and as we gesture and express our emotions over and over again. By showing these emotions, our brain releases a neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine that causes facial muscle contractions.

Botox blocks this neurotransmitter, and therefore the muscle does not receive the order to contract, so it rests by avoiding the formation of wrinkles. When the muscle rests, the skin relaxes, and those lines of expression begin to disappear. And at the same time, the formation of new wrinkles is avoided.

Generally, Botox cosmetic is applied through infiltrations or injections using small, thin needles, which are as thin as a strand of hair. This makes the procedure painless. The Botox application process takes approximately 10 minutes, and it is done inside a doctor's office.

Each patient requires a dose according to their face, so our specialist at Unique Aesthetic Center in Miami will evaluate to determine the amount of dosage you need. After the injections, cold compresses are applied to the area to help reduce swelling. The swollen area returns to normal after two hours.

Normally patients can return to their regular activity the same day. However, it is advisable not to exercise for 24 hours.

Where does Botox get injected?

A specialist must do the procedure to know in which areas botox should be injected. The specialist should know about human facial anatomy to avoid the "Frozen Face" effect or mask effect but achieve natural and attractive results.

The first thing you must know is that botox is effective in dynamic skin wrinkles. It is injected subcutaneously, and not directly into the wrinkle, but into the muscle that generates it. Besides, it is not injected into all the muscles of the face, but in strategic areas and in a personalized way for each patient according to their anatomy. In this way, natural results are obtained. The most common areas treated with botox correspond to the upper third of the face: Forehead, eyebrows, and crow's feet. It is also often used to treat wrinkles that appear in the nose area, neck muscles, and mouth corners.

The specific areas where Botox injection is administered are:

• Front area to treat front wrinkles or forehead expression lines
• Orbicular muscle area of the eyes, to treat periorbital wrinkles or commonly called "crow's feet."
• Corrugator muscle area to treat frown lines.

There are no maximum recommended sessions for the same person; it is essential to have professional advice that you can find at Unique Aesthetic Center in Miami.

Botox in Miami side effects

Most of the side effects respond to the wrong application of botox injections. The most common problem is the dropping of the eyelid or facial muscle in which Botox treatment has been applied. Also, if the patient's natural facial expression is not taken into account, very drastic changes can be obtained, producing a completely different appearance than usual. This is known as the masking effect.

In addition, if a professional does not apply it, it could generate other side effects such as:

• Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
• Migraines
