Best Botox Treatment Surgery In Ghatkopar, Mumbai

The human face is expected to express various emotions with the help of facial muscles. The human face consists of 43 muscles that work together to produce facial expressions. Such muscle movements remain the prime cause for wrinkles which appear with age. With the repetitive actions of the muscle, the wrinkles get etched in the muscle. This is the reason we see some people with permanent frowns or smile expressions. In addressing these natural signs of aging, individuals should seek the expertise of Dr. Nikunj Mody, the best plastic surgeon in Ghatkopar, Mumbai, India.

Botulinum toxin (Type A, Botox) is a cosmetic injection that blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. This effect relaxes and smooths the look of lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive movements on the faceโ€”most commonly, between the brows, crows-feet around the eyes, and horizontal forehead creases. Botulinum toxin is also used cosmetically to balance facial asymmetry and relax tight neck bands, as well as medically to reduce perspiration and to treat migraine headaches and muscle spasticity.

When to Consider Botulinum Toxin

Recovery:

After the injections you can return to your regular activities immediately; however, strenuous activity is discouraged for the remainder of the day. Redness and swelling that occur at the time of injection usually resolve quickly. Any bruising that might occur post-treatment will usually resolve over a week or two.

How is it performed?

Botox injection is a bed side procedure. The injection site will be cleansed and will usually not require anaesthesia prior to injection. The needles used are very short and thin, causing minimal pain. Depending on your specific concerns and condition, a number of injections will be needed to achieve the desired result. Slight pain, short-lasting swelling, and minimal redness and bleeding will likely occur as a result of your procedure. Once the neurotoxin has been injected, it will take several days to reach full effect and a follow-up visit is often scheduled weeks to months after the initial injection.

Some quick tips for the best results

1

Avoid massaging or touching the injected area afterwards;

2

Lying down or inverting the body shortly after injection can also cause complications.

3

Avoid strenuous or vigorous activities for the rest of the day.

4
