How is it different from conventional Botulinum toxin?
While conventional Botulinum toxin targets the muscles, Botulinum toxin for Facelifts targets the skin.
Hence, the undesirable risks of Botulinum toxin, such as a frozen expression, headaches or a feeling of heaviness in the forehead, are significantly reduced.
Botulinum toxin for Facelift is administered like conventional Botulinum toxin – through a series of small injections, but with fewer risks than traditional Botulinum toxin.
How does it work?
By injecting Botulinum toxin directly into the skin (and not muscle), pores contract and reduce in size causing the surface area of the skin to tighten. The result is a lifting effect that lasts for months – like a non-surgical facelift effect. Additionally, injecting intradermal Botulinum toxin into the lower part of the face close to the jawline cancels some of the downward pull of the platysma muscle, conveying a lifting effect to the cheeks and jowls.
Are there any additional benefits to this treatment?
Not only does a Botulinum toxin Facelift lift and tighten the skin, but pores are minimised, skin texture is evened out and the lower face is slimmed. The overall look is fresh and youthful in a natural way that doesn’t compromise facial expressions.
What happens during a treatment?
Anaesthetic cream is first applied on the face. Tiny injections of Botulinum toxin using a very fine needle are placed in strategic locations all over the face. The treatment takes about twenty minutes. Most patients feel a series of quick stings but discomfort is minimal and brief.
When are results visible?
Results are noticeable within a week and continue to improve in the following weeks to months thereafter.
How long do results last?
Results last an average of three to six months after one treatment, and longer with repeat treatments.
Can a Botulinum toxin for Facelift be combined with other treatments?
Who is a good candidate for a Botulinum toxin for Facelift?
Good candidates are those whose brows, cheeks and jawlines are just beginning to sag and look tired and who wish to have the whole face rejuvenated in one treatment. It is also preferred by those who do not wish to have any telltale signs of work done as well as those who prefer a more natural look, meaning that not all lines are erased but the overall appearance is fresher.
