Ins and outs of Botox®
March 1, 2017
Did you know that one vial of Botox® is only ¼ of a billionth of a gram and that one gram of Botox® is enough for the whole world for a year? Botox® is by far the most popular cosmetic medical procedure available, with millions of Botox® cosmetic treatments performed each year and the numbers continue to rise. With over 20 years of clinical history, Botox® is one of the most researched prescription medicine and can be used for many different medical conditions such as migraines and an overactive bladder. We know that New Zealand women and men are wanting to look and feel good for their age – but we also know that making the decision to have treatment can be a big step. So we’ve answered all the main questions we get asked about Botox® to help you understand more about the treatment, the benefits and if it’s right for you. What is Botox®?
What is the difference between Botox® and dermal fillers? As your skin ages, you may start to notice changes as your skin doesn’t produce natural structural elements like collagen as quickly as it used to. This means you may start to notice a loss of volume around your eyes, reduced elasticity in your face and crepiness in your neck. Your laughter and expression lines can gradually become more obvious, with cheeks and eyelids beginning to lower and jowls forming. Combining Botox® and dermal fillers can help combat these signs of ageing, ensuring you continue to look fantastic for your age. How does Botox® work? How long does it take to see the results, and how long will it last? What is the downtime after getting Botox? Is there a “too young” or “too old” for Botox? As you age, you may start to notice more lines and wrinkles forming (frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines). The number one concern for our clients is looking unnatural and overdone. These days Botox® can be used subtly without any tell-tale signs of treatment. Gradual treatments can achieve a beautifully rejuvenated, natural looking you. Read more about the changing face of you here. Can anyone perform Botox® treatments? How much does Botox® cost? The cost depends on how much Botox® is used. For example, a frown treatment is usually between $300 – $600, depending on how large and strong your facial muscles are. Do men receive Botox®? Can anyone get Botox®?
“The best part of my job is seeing how transformations make people feel. It’s incredible how improving someone’s appearance makes them feel better about themselves and often allows them to make other positive health choices. It changes how people see themselves when they look in the mirror and encourages them to take care of themselves in other ways. I’ve seen people take up an exercise programme, or go out more socially and connect more with their friends”. Dr. Sarah Hart, Appearance Medicine Doctor.
