Botulinum toxin is a US FD approved natural purified protein that temporarily relaxes the muscle which causes wrinkles. This reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles. The effect lasts for 4-6 months.

A Botox treatment is an anti-ageing injectable procedure. It is minimally invasive and considered as a simple, safe and effective treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. In this procedure, small injections are placed in the frown lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, deep forehead lines, chin, neck, jaw line and lines around the mouth to relax the muscles and erase these lines. Botox may also be injected in the underarms and palms in those individuals who sweat excessively in these areas.

Pre- and Post-Procedure Instructions

  • Avoid taking Aspirin / Ecosprin / Disprin, or any other pain killer, Vitamin E and other blood thinning drugs at least 5 days prior to the treatment. This is important to avoid any oozing from the area

  • A slight headache might occur after the treatment.
  • If Botox is injected in the palms, finer movements may be restricted for 1–2 weeks.
