Frequently Asked Questions
What is Botox?
Botox is the trade name of botulinum toxin type A, a purified toxin produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. In large amounts this toxin blocks the nerve impulses to muscles.
By using extremely small doses of botox injected directly into a specific muscle only the action of that muscle will be blocked. Hence, the problem that muscle causes like a twitch spasm or frown line will be stopped.
Where can we apply Botox?
Complete upper face, frown lines, laugh lines, jawline and neck bands.
Will the Botox last?
The actual treatment takes only a few minutes and the Botox takes effect in three to four days. Gradually, over three to five months, the Botox effect will fade and the muscle action will return. When the frown line starts to reappear, a simple repeat treatment is all that is necessary to maintain the desired result.
Can Botox be used for other wrinkles?
Botox is also effective in the treatment of crow's feet, forehead wrinkles and neck folds.
Who can perform Botox treatments?
The therapy should be done only by a physician trained in the use of Botox, such as the doctors at our clinic.

How has Botox been tested?
Botox has been used since 1980 for the treatment of strabismus (lazy eye), and blepharospasm (uncontrolled eye blinking). The use of Botox for forehead wrinkles was pioneered in 1989 by Dr. Carruthers of Vancouver, Canada. A major study of this technique was completed in 1995. A review was published in the journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
What are the side effects of the Botox treatment?
The side effects of Botox are related to the local injection of the solution. There will be slight discomfort from the needle entering the skin and a small chance of a bruise at the site of injection. There are no reports of damage to the eye or to the eyelid and there have been no permanent side effects from the use of Botox. Approximately 1% of patients may develop a slight lowering or ptosis of one eyelid, this is temporary and may not even be noticed by the patient.
