Botulinum Toxin Treatment

Allantotoxin treatment is a toxin that operates on striated muscles to promote transient muscular relaxation as a result of activity. It was created to treat a variety of eye problems, particularly strabismus. However, it was later revealed that injecting it into certain places helps ease facial and neck spasms. This gives the skin in the regions where it was applied a more youthful and smooth appearance.

How many times can I do the treatment?

There are no constraints on the treatment's application number. The therapy can be repeated as many times as necessary as long as there is no addiction and it is not done more than once every 8 weeks. To keep antibodies from forming in the body.

The treatment can be used as a preventative measure on young people who have developed wrinkles as a result of their greater expression but have not yet become permanent. Dr. Andreas Ioannidis advocates using smaller doses of a medicine that serves as an inhibitor in the permanency of wrinkles at younger ages or for persons who desire a more natural appearance. After the age of 30, women begin treatment. However, in other circumstances, prophylaxis can be accomplished early.

Areas where the application can be made:

The forehead, the area around the eyes (goose foot), the middle eyebrow, and the lower eyelid can all be treated with allantotoxin. We can see that it has really positive results during administration in certain places, as it relaxes the muscles and reduces wrinkles. It can also be used to diminish horizontal wrinkles around the cervix and to eliminate the muscular plane spasm that arises in the center line of vertical relaxation strips. This method of using the medicine offers a younger-looking skin, face, and neck without the need for surgery.

Does botulinum toxin treatment change facial expression?

The botulinum toxin treatment does not alter the facial features at all, no matter how many times someone repeats the treatment. The result always remains the same without affecting its mode of operation. Also the result comes gradually and is completed in 15 days from the treatment.

When will we avoid using botulinum toxin?

Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and persons with muscle issues should strongly avoid this product.

Are there any negative effects from botulinum toxin treatment?

The botulinum toxin treatment has no major side effects, however it can cause edema, erythema, and ecchymosis after administration, as well as a minor headache in rare cases. As a result, it is regarded as a treatment that may be used right away and returned to normal life.

What should I be aware of following botulinum toxin treatment?

After applying the product, we must remain upright for 3 hours, avoiding lying down or bending over. Furthermore, we do not massage the regions that have been treated immediately after and for the next three days, nor do we go to the sauna or use a hair dryer on the day of application.

When is botulinum toxin treatment recommended?

Treatment with allantotoxin is recommended for hyperhidrosis, migraine, and facial hemiparesis.

Botulinum toxin treatment has been used to help people suffering from migraines in recent years. It has been shown to be useful for patients who have migraines for more than 15 days per month.

Primary hyperhidrosis occurs when the nerve stimulus to the sweat glands is disrupted, causing them to stop receiving the impulse and produce sweat. To emphasize, in these circumstances, botulinum toxin treatment stops excessive sweating rather than regular sweat production.

Hemiparesis: People who have developed varied degrees of hemiparesis in the face face functional and aesthetically challenging challenges.

In terms of aesthetics, I'd like to concentrate on the inability to express feelings. Joy, pleasure, acceptance, happiness, and discomfort are not externalized emotions.

The staff and its branches are responsible for the majority of the imitation movements on the face (frontal, ocular, cheekbones, buccal). By altering the form and intensity of the asymmetry in the face, injuries, strokes, and other disorders might harm the personal nerve at its onset or in a peripheral branch.

This asymmetry is caused by two factors:

1) the affected area's lack of movement, and

2) the compensating hyperactivity of the non-affected area as a result of the lack of reflex action between the two sides of the face.

Botulinum toxin therapy is becoming more popular, and in some circumstances, such as facial hemiparesis, it may be the sole treatment option.

The goal of botulinum toxin treatment is to improve static symmetry while reducing non-diseased area hyperactivity abnormalities.

The botulinum toxin therapy follows a regimen that involves the gradual delivery of two applications, with the first half of the dosage component being administered first, and the second half being injected if and when needed after 15 days.

Our patients who discover solutions in this simple non-invasive manner are really pleased with the results of this treatment.
