A
15-year review study concludes good safety
and tolerability profile across a wide spectrum
of uses. Safety was also established in patients
having multiple Botox treatment for eight
years for cosmetic procedures. A comparison
study was done for Botox versus other formulations
of botulinum toxin in eradicating glabellar
lines. At week 12, twice as many patients
had more than 50% improvement with Botox compared
to other formulations. Better patient satisfaction
with appearance and duration of effects with
Botox were reported after 20 weeks. A greater
proportion of patients on Botox had more relapse-free
episodes. Another comparison study showed
superior effects compared to preparations
containing acetyl hexapeptide for minimizing
moderate to severe glabellar rhytids.
Facial Slimming:
New
application for Botox, - Dr. Desai is the
pioneer in India to use BOTOX for this indication
as he has learned it from Dr. Woffles Wu who
pioneered this method.
Meso or Micro Botox and Botox Facial Slimming
are two of the latest techniques that have
been added to the rejuvenation techniques
available to surgeons around the world.
Botox Facial Slimming involves the periodic
injections of Botox into the masseter (jaw)
muscles. These muscles give the face an overly
square, boxy and masculine look but with Botox
Facial Slimming, the face can look slimmer
and more youthful.
Meso Botox involves the injection of micro-doses
of Botox into the superficial layer of the
facial muscle to achieve a smooth, clear skin.
Even men are becoming big fans of the procedure.
Botox is the perfect quick-fox because it
is minimally invasive with no down time.
What is New With Botox:
Previously, Botox was used to erase frown
lines between the eyebrows, forehead, crow's
feet on the eye corners, and lines on the
upper lip. Now Botox can be used to rejuvenate
skin, and slim down face and bulky legs!
Botox for facial slimming involves periodic
injections of Botox directly into droopy muscles
at the side of the face, which can contribute
to an unappealing, square-looking jaw and
boxy face shape. Botox injections can relax
these muscles and reduce their bulk to yield
a more pleasing, well-defined and slimmer
facial shape. The same procedure can be applied
to your calf muscles.
For skin rejuvenation, there is Meso-Botox
or Micdro Botox,. Small micro-doses of Botox
are injected into the superficial layer of
facial skin, causing pores to close and glands
to tighten, resulting in a smoothening and
lifting effect. Talk to your plastic surgeon
or dermatologist for more information on these
new Botox procedures.
NON-SURGICAL FACE LIFT THREAD LIFT/
WAPTOS/ APTOS
It
is a new face lifting procedure, which uses
threads with small barbs to raise & tighten
the skin. There is no downtime & practically
no complications. A few years ago, the
prospect of a non-surgical facelift may have
sounded as likely as that of a non-surgical
triple bypass. Earlier,in nearly every case,
patients are required to undergo general anaesthesia.
Extensive procedures, such as the deep plane
lift, call for incisions that slice perilously
close to delicate facial nerves. And all facelift
surgeries even the so-called mini-lift
require weeks to months of recovery
time before patients enjoy a newly rejuvenated
face. Today all this is avoided with the help
of Thread-lift
