Botox (botulinum toxin) is a neurotoxin protein produced by the same bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It inhibits the release of the nerve toxin acetylcholine in axon ends at the neuromuscular juncture, thereby causing neurofreezing pain. The toxin also causes botulism, a rare but potentially fatal condition. Botox treatment involves injecting it directly into muscles, but in clinical trials, the diluted botulinum toxin was injected into the muscle in question, rather than into the vein as in a vein injection.
Botox Newton MA is a clinic that specializes in the treatment of facial muscles and their surrounding areas. The procedure is performed by injecting a special botox gel into muscle groups of the face, which are usually relaxed. The effect is a wrinkle-free, youthful appearance. Botox injections are now performed routinely on an increasing number of patients with prominent lines and wrinkles on the forehead, nose, and cheeks. It has been found that botox can be very successful in reversing many signs of aging.
How do Botox works?
It blocks some chemical signals from nerves that mostly stop muscles to contract. It temporarily relaxes the facial muscles that cause wrinkles.
There are some benefits of Botox:
- It reduces facial fat.
- It also helps to prevent chronic migraines.
- It will make you feel better.
- It is a nonsurgical method so, you will not feel any pain.
Side effects of Botox:
- You will get a problem swallowing after treatment.
- Headache.
- Muscle weakness near where medicine is injected.
- You may have an allergic reaction.
During your consultation, the doctor will determine if you qualify for Botox injections and if they have any pre-authorization requirements. You will also discuss any special requests that you want and be advised of any further requirements that may be required. In general, you will be given general anesthesia and asked to rest for a few days after the injections, before being told how to take care of yourself.
After your initial consultation, you will be scheduled for a series of consultations, lasting between two and four weeks. During these consultations, your physician will evaluate your skin condition and determine the areas in which Botox Newton MA will be most effective. A team of nurses will administer the injections, follow-up visits will occur with the same nurses every two weeks, and a post-operative follow-up appointment will take place one month following your procedure. Because this is an injectable medication, you must discuss any allergies that you have before going into surgery. Some side effects such as bruising, swelling, allergic reaction, pain, or a temporary loss of eyesight can be expected during and after your procedure.
