How to prepare for Botulinum toxins A treatment?

Botulinum toxins A Cosmetic is a non-surgical, in-office treatment that requires minimal preparation. Before commencing the treatment, you should let our doctor know about your medical history, allergies, or medical conditions.

Further, you may have to stop taking blood-thinning medicines several days before the injection to minimize the risk of bruising. Before the procedure, you will have to remove all your makeup and cleanse the treatment area.

How does Botulinum toxins A work?

Botulinum toxin injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals and muscle contractions. This relaxes the facial muscles that cause wrinkles around the eyes and in the forehead. Botulinum toxins A also delays the formation of new lines by stopping the contraction of facial muscles.

While undergoing Botulinum toxins A treatment, you do not require any incisions or general anaesthesia. If you are worried about pain or discomfort, our doctor will numb the treatment area with topical anaesthetic or ice.

During the procedure, our doctor will administer 3-5 Botulinum toxin injections using a thin needle. They will inject in the area that needs treatment. It takes about 10-30 minutes to complete the entire procedure.

After the procedure

Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for around 24 hours, as it can negatively hamper your results. By not doing so, you prevent the Botulinum toxins A Cosmetic from spreading to other areas of the body.

Also, be careful not to lie down or bend for 3-4 hours if you are being injected between the brow as it can cause the Botulinum toxins A to slip under the orbital rim. This may cause an eyelid droop.

You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
