Botox & Fillers

Ageing causes our skin to lose its elasticity and we start getting wrinkles. Normal day to day emotions like smiling, frowning etc makes our wrinkles even more visible!! That frown which gave us an intellectual look during our 20’s and 30’s now serves only to make us look aged. That smooth forehead of our youth now looks like a shirt that needs to be ironed.

Wouldn’t we want to turn back time? Smile once again with confidence? Not have that constant frown on the forehead?
If your answer is ‘yes’, BOTOX^® & Fillers are the right treatments for you.

BOTOX^® is also very effective in eliminating body odour. Your smelly under-arms (armpits) and palms can be a thing of the past. Call our doctors today to know more.

Frequently Asked Questions on BOTOX^®:

1. What is BOTOX^®?
   BOTOX^® is the brand from Allergan Inc USA containing purified protein produced by clostridium botulinum bacteria. It is a non surgical physician administered therapy used in various beauty enhancing therapies including the management of expression lines on your face.
   
   
2. How does BOTOX^®work?
   BOTOX is a simple non surgical procedure. A few tiny injections of BOTOX when injected into the muscle causing lines, gets relaxed. This smoothens out the lines on your face. It normally takes about 15-20 minutes. The procedure is so quick that many consider this a lunch time procedure. In fact, there is no down time in this therapy. You can go back to attend work immediately after the therapy
   
   
3. What is BOTOX^® used for?
   Apart from wrinkles on the upper face (wrinkles around the eyes & fore-head), BOTOX^® is used for the following enhancements:
1. It helps in shaping up your jaw, and giving it a more streamlined look like Halle Berry
2. It is used to give your eye brows a lift and an angle like Deepika Padukone
3. It can correct the droopy angle of mouth and elevate the falling nasal tip
4. It is used to beautify your neck by taking care of platysmal (neck) bands
5. It helps get rid of smoker lines that appear as cracked lips on heavy smokers' lips



4. Can BOTOX^® help me to reduce my body odour?
   Very effectively. Another critical use of BOTOX^® is for eliminating the problem caused due to excessive sweat from the palms and the under-arms. Using BOTOX^® for the under-arms can help you get rid of that repulsive body odour, and leaves you feeling fresh all day long, day after day, making your feel confident to get closer. It also helps in prevent staining of clothes.



5. How does BOTOX^® work in eliminating body odour?
   Body Odour occurs due to the presence of bacteria in the humidity caused by excessive sweating (hyperhidrosys). BOTOX^® works by reducing the amount of sweat produced by the apocrine glands (sweat glands) of the body. This treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes and has no downtime. The effect of the treatment lasts for about 9 to 12 months.
   
   
6. How can BOTOX^® help me enhance my beauty?
   The biggest enemy of a person’s beauty is the lines on his/her face. We animate our faces so much more whenever we laugh, cry, chat, gossip, share secrets and spill beans. The very fact that our faces are so expressive causes expression lines which are early wrinkles. Most of us do not realize but have started forming expression lines even before we turn 30. This if ignored becomes static lines and the lines remain on our face all the time. BOTOX^® helps you get rid of these lines and help you continue looking beautiful.
   
   
7. What is the right age to start using BOTOX^®?
   BOTOX^® is approved globally from the age of 18 onwards. As we age, we start getting dynamic wrinkles for various facial gestures. These dynamic wrinkles become static wrinkles with time. Treating the dynamic wrinkles with BOTOX^® when they first start appearing will play a major role in preventing static wrinkles. We advise periodic BOTOX^® treatment from the age of 25 years.
   
   
8. Can the effect of BOTOX^® be compared with that of chemical peels and microdermabrasion?
   Each of these therapies is used for different purposes. They all complement each other but do not substitute each other. Therefore their effectiveness cannot be compared. For instance, BOTOX^® takes care of expression lines while chemical peels & microdermabrasion helps in getting clear glowing skin through exfoliation.
   
   
9. Can I take BOTOX^® while I’m undergoing chemical peels/microdermabrasion?
   Definitely. The mode of action of BOTOX^® is very different from that of chemical peels or microdermabrasion, so they do not interfere with each other’s action. But they would surely contribute to a better looking ‘you’, since all of them are effective treatments in their own way.
   
   
10. How much time will it take for the results to be evident?
    The results with BOTOX^® are sure, quick and predictable. You will start seeing the changes in 2-3 days. However, more pronounced results are seen in two weeks time.
    
    
11. How long will the results stay?
    Botox is a non-surgical therapy and so the effect lasts for a certain number of months and not permanently. Generally, BOTOX^® effect is seen up to 4-6 months. The effect starts fading off after 4 months, after which you need to visit the doctor for the next injection. It is seen that gradually the period gets extended beyond 4-6 months when you take BOTOX^® continually. This means you may not have to visit your doctor every 4-6 months in the long run. Importantly, since it is a beauty enhancement process and not a treatment, you may choose to get different styling done the next time in terms of expression lines
    
    
12. Is BOTOX^® safe?
    The safe and effective use of BOTOX^® depends upon proper storage of the product, selection of the correct dose, and proper reconstitution and administration techniques. We at SkinWorld have very strict standards of safety. Even the smallest of procedures are monitored by our expert doctors. We take the utmost precautions while administering BOTOX^® to give you the SkinWorld assurance of safety and efficacy. Secondly, BOTOX^® has been approved by the US FDA, one of the most stringent drugs approving authority worldwide. It is in clinical use for the last thirty years and is marketed in around 80 countries for 21 different indications. Till date it is not been withdrawn from any country for safety reasons. Moreover, allergan continuously monitors the use of BOTOX to ensure proper use.
    
    
13. Will I be able to make facial expressions after BOTOX^®?
    It is a myth that “I may struggle to express after taking BOTOX^®”. It is important to get BOTOX^® done from a trained medical practitioner who understands the dosage requirement correctly and helps you get rid of your unwanted expression lines and not your expressions. At SkinWorld, our doctors are specially trained to administer Botox for different indications.
