6 Benefits of Botox that You Should Know
Botox treatment in Costa Rica, as in many parts of the world, has been growing in popularity thanks to its undoubted effects in facial rejuvenation and the low risk involved, so we explain 6 benefits of Botox that you should know.
In 1992 the first article was published on the aesthetic use of botulinum toxin type A or Botox, in the treatment of expression lines and the benefits of botox ® in the eyes, between the eyebrows, etc..
At present, botulinum toxin is an important part in the aesthetic medical treatments of the face due to its safety profile and its effects on the immediate improvement in the control of expression lines and wrinkles.
Botox, correctly known as botulinum toxin type A, is a set of neurotoxic proteins of biological origin derived from a microorganism known as clostridium botulinum, which act by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses in the autonomic nervous system.
Its main objective is to generate muscle relaxation temporarily to prevent the expression of wrinkles in aesthetic treatments or management of certain diseases.
What does Botox treatment consist of?
The botox treatment that we perform at Lamicq Dental Care is performed through infiltrations by means of an extra-fine syringe in the muscle of the area to be treated, producing inhibition of the transmission of nerve impulses, specifically calcium-dependent acetylcholine, generating a blockage of muscle contraction.
Benefits of Botox treatment you didn't know about
1. Botox as a preventive treatment
Undoubtedly the ideal use of Botox is as a wrinkle preventive, however, it is a use that is rarely given due to the lack of knowledge of this treatment.
If you still have a young skin without wrinkles, it is good to start a Botox treatment when you begin to notice the first signs of aging. Small doses can be applied to avoid having wrinkles in the future.
The secret to have a perfect skin in old age, is to be able to perform preventive treatments on the skin when it is in perfect condition and not wait until it is too late to start.
2. Lasting effect
One of the advantages of Botox is that there is no limit to how many times it can be applied. In patients treated repeatedly for a year or more, it has been observed that the duration of the effect lasts between 6 months and 1 year.
Although the treatment is not permanent, it can be applied without problem every 6 months to maintain its effects forever.
3. Relaxes muscles
The application of Botox relaxes the muscles in the areas where it is applied. It is mainly applied on the forehead (frontal wrinkles), between the eyebrows (globular wrinkles) and crow's feet (periorbital wrinkles).
By relaxing the muscles where it is applied, it is possible to avoid the dynamic wrinkles that are produced in the skin, which are the most common wrinkles that are noticed in the face and which age the face.
4. Educational effect on the skin
By influencing muscle relaxation, the skin adapts to this sensation and finds it easier to stay relaxed. Therefore, if used periodically, wrinkles take longer to appear.
For this reason it is recommended, at least at the beginning of the treatments, to maintain its application at least every 6 months.
5. Helps treat bruxism
Its best known use is as a wrinkle remover and to relax the muscles to eliminate dynamic wrinkles, however, it also serves to relax the masseter muscles, which are those that are located in the jaw and are responsible for proper chewing.
There are many people who, at night, when they are asleep, tighten these muscles a lot and then have problems with the bite and a lot of pain or migraines during the day. So much tension that is generated with the weeks of this problem generates this problem that affects people's daily life.
By applying Botox in the mandibular area, this effort that we make involuntarily will be paralyzed and we will get back to have a normal bite.
6. Maintains facial expression
One of the myths that weakens everyday is the fact that it can alter the appearance of your face and that when Botox is applied, the effects are felt "for the worse". It can be performed in almost any facial region and maintains the facial expression and the desired effect.
On the other hand, the Botox treatment technique is not very painful, since the injections are performed with smaller caliber needles and in addition, sometimes an anesthetic cream is applied to minimize the patient’s pain.
The best of all is the time the session lasts, which usually takes about 20-30 minutes depending on the number of areas where you want to apply.
Subsequently, the patient can lead a completely normal life after a rejuvenating session that the face will be grateful.
