As Dr. Wangui Waithaka, I’m delighted to offer Botox, a non-surgical plastic treatment designed to smoothen out wrinkles and fine lines, helping you reclaim youthful, radiant skin. Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin, works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, giving you a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking about 15-30 minutes. During the treatment, small amounts of Botox are injected into targeted facial muscles using a fine needle. You might feel a slight pinch, but discomfort is minimal. The results start to appear within a few days, with full effects visible in about two weeks. These results can last up to four months, depending on individual factors.
Botox is particularly effective for treating dynamic wrinkles, which are the lines that form from repetitive facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or smiling. Common treatment areas include forehead lines, crow’s feet (lines around the eyes), and frown lines between the eyebrows.
The effects of Botox typically last about three to four months. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong the results.
The procedure involves minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch. A topical numbing cream can be applied to enhance comfort.
Common side effects include slight bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few days.
Yes, Botox can be safely combined with other plastic treatments like dermal fillers for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
