Disclaimer: Botox is manufactured to be used by certified professionals with special training. It can only be sold to licensed aesthetic doctors and special beauty clinics. Independent unprofessional use of Botox could harm your health. More than a third of all botulinum therapy procedures are injections of Botox or similar drugs into the forehead. Injections in this area are performed more often than in any other part of the face or body simply because wrinkles form here earlier than anywhere else.  With so many factors to consider, including the patient's age, skin type, and severity of wrinkles, it can be challenging to determine how many units of Botox for the forehead are needed for optimal results. However, choosing the correct dosage is crucial in achieving the desired outcome and avoiding potential complications. What Is Botulinum Therapy? Botulinum therapy is an injection procedure with botulinum toxin type A, aimed at reducing the visibility of wrinkles and skin fo [Read more]

Cosmetology has long since ceased to be a woman's service field solely. And no wonder the popularity of Botox among men increased: men also want to correct signs of aging, eliminate skin imperfections and be attractive to themselves and others. It's no secret that even in business cases, it's essential to have some chemistry between people, not to mention regular communication. And minor cosmetic adjustments greatly help with this - such as botulinum therapy for men, and that is why men are using Botox. Yes, men's skin is different from women's - it is thicker, so the aging process comes slower. But, as a rule, men's skin signs of aging appear sharply and relatively concentrated. We use Botulinum therapy for men to remove wrinkles and correct other imperfections. The Science of Botox Botox is a medication based on botulinum neurotoxin type A, produced by Allergan (USA). This word is also used to refer to all its analogs. Botox binds to the nerve endings that release acetylcholine w [Read more]

Botox and fillers are two of cosmetic medicine's most popular non-surgical treatments for reducing signs of aging.  As a medical professional, it is crucial to understand the similarities and differences between these treatments to ensure that patients receive the best possible care.  This article will compare dermal fillers vs. Botox, exploring their uses, treatment process, and potential side effects. What is Botox? Sometimes patients ask: is Botox a dermal filler? The answer is: no. Botox (short for Botulinum toxin) is a neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.  It is a medication commonly used for medical and cosmetic purposes, such as treating muscle spasticity, reducing wrinkles, and preventing excessive sweating. Botox blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, leading to temporary muscle paralysis. When injected into a specific muscle, it prevents that muscle from contracting; and thus reduces or prevents wrinkles, fine [Read more]

How Do Neurotoxins Work? Neurotoxins are a group of substances that destroy nerve tissue. They paralyze the ability of nerve cells (neurons) to transfer signals via the synapses. As a result of neurotoxins intoxication, a human being loses control of the body parts, and can even die. Neurotoxins are very dangerous for humans in high concentrations. The most frequently used neurotoxin is alcohol. However, in small doses neurotoxins can be used to help. For example, a microdose of neurotoxin can relax a muscle spasm and calm down the migraine. In the beauty industry, people use microdoses of botulotoxin. With age, people have got wrinkles on the moving parts of the face: near the external eye corner, between and above the eyebrows, and so on. Underskin injections of botulotoxin paralyze the facial muscles, they stop moving and the wrinkles get smoother, and the face looks younger. What Do Winkle Relaxers Have in Common? There are several popular wrinkle relaxer brands on the market. T [Read more]

Introduction Patients seeking facial rejuvenation often present with prominent nasolabial folds, marionette lines, perioral lines, loss of volume to the lips, and changes along the jawline. The patient’s appearance is significantly affected by the loss of definition along the mandibular border. A contoured jawline is often seen as indicative of a more youthful appearance. Aging is a natural phenomenon and gravitational forces, increased tissue laxity, and progressive bone resorption all play a role in the facial manifestations. Atrophy and resorption of the malar, submalar, and buccal fat pads lead to volume loss in the midface. With aging, the jawline’s shape becomes less aesthetically appealing. As a result, there has been a significant increase in the number of non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures available to efficiently contour the jawline and restore lost facial volume. Patient Analysis Dr. Kate Goldie, an aesthetic practitioner, utilizes a full-face con [Read more]

Storing Xeomin and Bocouture If you use an alternative brand of botulinum toxin, such as Xeomin or its cosmetic version Bocouture, we have good news! These products do not require refrigeration normally and may last longer than the manufacturer suggests. Merz suggests that Xeomin can be used up to 36 months after its manufacturer date, but research suggests that, after 48 months in the refrigerator or stored at up to 25° C, the neurotoxin is just as effective. Additionally, when they tested Xeomin that had been stored for 18 months at 30° C and six months at 40° C, the neurotoxin was still stable. Even at 60° C for one month and 80° C for five days, Xeomin still showed at least partial activity.  According to Merz, reconistituted Xeomin or Bocouture can be placed in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, researchers believe that this too may be unnecessarily conservative. After leaving Xeomin solution at room [Read more]
