Did you know that Global Travel Clinics is a great place for cosmetic treatments such as Botox? Botox injections can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your face to give a fresher, rejuvenated appearance while maintaining a natural range of expressions.
What is Botox?
Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. When injected by a licensed professional, it acts as a neuromodulator, by blocking signals to muscles so that they relax, rather than contract. This reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox has been used medically since 1978 and for cosmetic purposes since 1990. It is approved by the FDA.
Which parts of the face can be treated with Botox?
Treatment with Botox can reduce fine lines on the face. It is particularly effective for:
- forehead lines and frown lines between the brows
- crow's feet at the corners of the eyes
- lines around the mouth (smoker's lines and marionette lines)
- platysmal bands on the neck
Botox won’t improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin and cannot help with lines caused by sagging of facial skin.
Description of a Botox treatment with Global Travel Clinics
At Global Travel Clinics, Botox treatments will be conducted in an immaculate clinical environment by a trained and licensed professional.
When you come for a Botox treatment, you will receive several small injections at specific sites. The location of the Botox injections will depend on the part of your face that you want treated.
There is no need for anesthetic during a series of Botox injections. You can return to normal activity right after your Botox appointment.
When can I see the results of my Botox injections?
Between 24 to 72 hours after your Botox treatment, you can expect to see reductions in the fine lines that have been treated.
Is Botox permanent?
Botox treatments are not permanent because your body will break down the neuromodulator and re-innervate the treated muscles. The effects of a Botox injection lasts three to four months. After that, you can have another treatment.
Is Botox completely safe?
Complications following a Botox treatment are rare. They tend to resolve once the Botox wears off. But it is crucial to have a pre-Botox treatment consultation to discuss potential risks, side effects, and to ensure your practitioner understands your desired outcomes.
Are there any contraindications for Botox?
Your licensed Botox practitioner will ask you some questions to check that there is no reason you should not have Botox injections. For example, Botox Cosmetic isn’t appropriate for people with neuromuscular disorders and problems with swallowing or with breathing.
There are some meds that may react badly with Botox, so if you are taking these, you won’t be able to have a Botox treatment. And people who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not get Botox treatments. If you have any skin conditions on the area you hope to have treated, the practitioner may ask you to wait until your skin has cleared up.
