Technique
After an initial consultation, to assess your medical health, the treatment will be performed by injecting small units of botulinum toxin A into the surrounding skin of the area of concern. The needles used are very fine and feel like tiny pin-pricks, which most patients easily tolerate.
Botulinum toxin A is a prescription only medication, therefore it should only be administered by highly trained nurses, doctors and dentists.
Procedure
Depending on how many areas being treated, the assessment and procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.
Downtime
Discomfort and downtime is minimal. There may be mild tenderness, which subsides within minutes, allowing you to return to normal activities soon after. However, you are advised to avoid intense physical acctivities and exercises, as well as make up and alcohol for 24 hours following treatment.
