You would like to boost your self-confidence a little. You have been wishing for a more youthful, radiant appearance for a long time. You think it's time for a few compliments from colleagues, friends, acquaintances, or even strangers again. You have thought about Botox treatment before, but you have never actually gone through with it. If you recognize yourself in these lines, then this is the right article for you. Here you will learn what you need to know before a Botox treatment.
Botox interrupts the signal transmission between nerve and muscle
Botulinum toxin A – Botox for short – is actually a protein derived from a bacterium. The anaerobic bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which occurs naturally in the soil, produces a substance that affects the human nervous system. Botulinum toxin is used as a medication for the treatment of numerous indications. However, it is primarily known for its wrinkle-smoothing properties. Botox temporarily shuts down the signal transmission between the nerve and the facial muscle. This immobilization makes wrinkles disappear.
A mask-like face only occurs with excessive dosage
We all know them. The pictures of stars and starlets whose faces somehow look unnatural. The goal of a Botox treatment, however, is to maintain natural expressiveness. Specialists pay close attention to the dosage to avoid that mask-like face.
At the Aestomed Ambulatorium in Vienna, treatments are only performed by experienced doctors. Here you are placing your Botox therapy in the best hands. We only work with the highest quality active ingredients and under the strictest hygiene standards.
Only the initial treatment takes half an hour
The "old hands" have it better here. A follow-up therapy takes an average of about 15 minutes. But even this half hour is bearable. Especially since the treatment is perceived by most patients as having little pain. Should you be one of those who are particularly sensitive to pain, there is also the option of requesting a local anesthetic before the treatment.
Fully socially acceptable immediately after treatment
Although small puncture marks may be visible after the treatment under certain circumstances, these can be covered up very well in an emergency. In normal cases, you can return to social life immediately after the Botox therapy.
In most cases, the final result is visible after 3 days at the latest
After the expression lines have been treated with Botox, it usually takes 24 to 72 hours for the full success to become visible. However, there are exceptional cases in which the effect only fully sets in two weeks after the therapy.
The Aestomed Ambulatorium in Vienna is the private medical facility you can place your full trust in. The majority of patients remain loyal to the Aestomed Ambulatorium for many years because they appreciate the safety, discretion, and perfection in the execution of a treatment.
The effect lasts up to six months
For new patients, the fine lines and wrinkles on the face remain completely gone for about 3 months. After that, the effect wears off. After about 6 months, the body has completely broken down the active ingredient. Here, too, those who repeat the treatment have an advantage. For them, the effect can even last up to 2 years, depending on the number of repetitions already completed.
Long-term studies prove that Botox therapy has no long-term consequences
Botox has been used in the medical field for over 30 years, and it has been used for wrinkle smoothing since 1989. During this time, long-term studies have been conducted, which concluded that patients have no long-term consequences to fear from the active ingredient.
The treatment can be repeated as often as desired
Since the effect of the protein is only temporary and there are no long-term risks, Botox therapy can be repeated as often as desired.
Treatment with Botox has few side effects
Of course, conservative therapy with botulinum toxin is not entirely risk-free. There are, of course, one or two possible side effects, such as temporary headaches or swelling in the area of the puncture sites. But in contrast to invasive treatments, as is the case with a classic facelift, it has very few side effects. In addition, the undesirable effects that can occur are of a much shorter duration and are reversible without further therapy.
The Aestomed Laser Ambulatorium in Vienna is a private medical facility that has been offering its services in the field of aesthetic dermatology since 1999. Part of the wide range of medical services is a machine park consisting of numerous laser medical devices for the gentle treatment of aesthetic indications such as acne, couperose, rosacea, or spider veins. The private clinic is the first address for patients who value first-class treatment standards and high-quality active ingredients.
