What is Botox?
As we age, fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of life. The optimal strategy is to start Botox now at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham, preventing these lines from forming in the first place. However, their onset and severity depend on both genetics and environmental factors. What many don’t realise is that wrinkles can be classified into subgroups, each with distinct causes and treatments. Repeated muscle movements throughout our lives result in creases and wrinkles in areas most actively used. These lines, known as ‘dynamic lines,’ become more pronounced on our faces when we make certain expressions. This is where anti-wrinkle injections, like Botox at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham, come into play.
Botox, derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, is a purified neurotoxin. It works by blocking muscle impulses, reducing their movement. The clinical-grade cosmetic Botox we use at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham is prescription-only and purified for safety. When injected, it temporarily weakens the targeted muscle’s contraction, leading to smoother, younger-looking skin. While there’s no reversal agent, the body naturally breaks down Botox over months, gradually restoring muscle movement. By reducing muscle activity, the skin has time to recover, softening and fading creases and wrinkles. Treatment dosage and frequency can be adjusted at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham to achieve natural results, often requiring more frequent treatments in the initial years to ‘re-educate’ the muscles.
We recommend starting Botox before dynamic lines turn into deep static lines, those that persist without expression. The timing varies based on genetics and lifestyle factors, such as smoking and sun exposure. Essentially, the earlier the treatment at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham, the more effective it is at preventing deeper lines.
Frequently Asked Questions about Botox
How does the procedure work?
Your journey at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham begins with a consultation, facial analysis, and medical history evaluation by our doctor.
The procedure involves controlled Botox injections into the targeted areas using a microneedle. While generally not painful, you may experience mild stinging discomfort.
How long does a Botox treatment take?
Depending on the number of areas treated, the procedure typically takes just 15 minutes at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham.
How long does Botox last?
Results typically become apparent in 4-10 days at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham, lasting 3-6 months.
Some muscle movement may return after 1 month, varying from person to person, necessitating adjustments in future Botox doses. With regular treatments over several years at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham, muscles ‘re-train,’ reducing the need for frequent top-ups.
What aftercare is required?
Aftercare involves avoiding touching, makeup application, and massage of treated areas for 12 hours.
Additionally, abstain from exercise for 24 hours and sun exposure or heat (such as hot showers/saunas/steam rooms) for 48 hours. Alcohol should be avoided for 24 hours.
What areas can be treated with Botox?
Forehead Lines: Wrinkles or creases that develop horizontally across the forehead.
Frown Lines: Vertical lines or furrows that appear between the eyebrows, often associated with frowning or concentration.
Crow’s Feet: Fine lines or wrinkles that radiate from the outer corners of the eyes, resembling the feet of a crow.
Quick Face Slim: A treatment to contour and slim down the face for a more defined appearance.
Bunny Lines: Small wrinkles or lines that form on the nose, often visible when scrunching the nose.
Cobblestone Chin: The appearance of irregular, bumpy texture on the chin area.
Eyebag Wrinkles: Wrinkles or lines that form under the eyes, often in conjunction with under-eye bags.
Gummy Smile: Excessive display of gum tissue when smiling, often corrected to reveal less gum and more teeth.
Eyebrow Lift: A procedure to elevate and shape the eyebrows for a more youthful and lifted appearance.
Calf Slimming: A treatment to reduce the size or bulkiness of the calf muscles for a slimmer leg appearance.
Perioral Lines: Fine lines or wrinkles that form around the mouth, also known as lip lines or smoker’s lines.
Lip Flip: A procedure to slightly enhance the appearance of the upper lip by flipping out the lip border.
Drooping Mouth Corners: The downward sagging of the corners of the mouth, often corrected to create a more uplifted and youthful appearance.
Neck Rejuvenation: Procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the neck, often addressing issues such as sagging skin, wrinkles, or bands.
Are there any side effects?
Immediately after the procedure at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham, you may experience tenderness and redness in the treated area, which can last up to 72 hours.
A few individuals may have a headache, usually resolving within 48 hours. While bruising is usually minimal, some are more prone to it, with healing taking longer. A comprehensive medical evaluation helps reduce this risk at Secret Aesthetics in Birmingham, and we recommend limiting alcohol intake 48 hours before and after the procedure to aid recovery.
