BOTOX® (BOTULINUM TOXIN) INJECTION
Botox, short for botulinum toxin, is a popular cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When used in very small, controlled amounts, Botox can temporarily paralyze or weaken specific muscles, which can smooth out wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle contractions.
WHAT ARE THE USES OF BOTULINUM TOXIN?
Botulinum toxin has a wide range of cosmetic uses, effectively improving aesthetic concerns by temporarily relaxing specific muscles. Below are expanded descriptions of its cosmetic applications:
COSMETIC USES
Forehead Lines
By targeting the frontalis muscle, botulinum toxin can smooth out the horizontal lines across the forehead, resulting in a more serene and youthful forehead appearance.
Laugh Lines (Crow's Feet)
This treatment softens the periocular lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes, enhancing the eye area with a smoother look while maintaining the natural expressiveness of smiling.
Glabellar Lines
Known as the “11” lines, botulinum toxin effectively diminishes these vertical frown lines between the eyebrows, promoting a more relaxed and approachable facial expression.
Bunny Lines
Injecting botulinum toxin into the sides of the nose addresses the dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movements like laughing or squinting, smoothing the nasal bridge and sidewalls.
Gummy Smile
For those who show an excessive gum line above the teeth when smiling, botulinum toxin can subtly lower the upper lip to reveal a balanced, confident smile.
Chin Dimpling
Botulinum toxin can reduce the appearance of a ‘pebbled’ or dimpled chin, often called “peau d’orange,” resulting in a smoother, softer chin surface.
Jawline Slimming
For individuals with a wide lower face due to enlarged masseter muscles, botulinum toxin can contour the jawline by reducing the muscle’s size, creating a more feminine or oval facial shape.
Achieving Facial Symmetry
It can be used to rebalance facial features, especially after unilateral facial weakness or paralysis, by relaxing overactive muscles on the unaffected side to match the weakened side.
MEDICAL USES
Chronic Migraines
Botulinum toxin is approved for the prevention of chronic migraines, helping reduce the frequency and severity of headache days.
Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
It effectively treats excessive sweating by inhibiting the nerves that stimulate sweat glands, particularly in areas like the underarms, palms, and scalp.
Blepharospasm
Eases involuntary eyelid twitching or closure, improving visual function and comfort.
Synkinesis after Facial Nerve Injury
Alleviates involuntary facial movements that may occur as a result of facial nerve regrowth or miswiring after paralysis, helping restore coordinated facial movement. Dr Sandeep has particular expertise in treating patients with synkinesis after Bell’s palsy.
