When we make facial gestures, laugh or cry, our face muscles contract. With the passing of time, the muscle activity leads to\u00a0expression wrinkles, in the form of\u00a0wrinkles on the forehead, crow’s feet around the eyes and wrinkles between the eye-brows.\u00a0These expression wrinkles are known as dynamic wrinkles. In other words, they are wrinkles resulting from the muscle activity involved in body language and are generally only visible when you make expressions. Botox is injected directly into the corresponding muscle, causing its\u00a0temporary relaxation\u00a0and giving the face a more relaxed, rejuvenated and attractive appearance. As with any medical procedures, it should only be used in the right circumstances, and where necessary, it should be used in combi-nation with other available techniques used to prevent premature ageing of the skin.<\/p>\n
Virtually painless treatment.\u00a0<\/strong>The application of Botox is a simple and fast procedure, using very fine needles, applied directly on the treatment area. The level of discomfort de-pends on each patient’s sensitivity. However, in general, it is relatively painless. Any side effects can be significantly reduced by using anaesthetic skin cream or ice<\/p>\n Which areas of the face can be treated?\u00a0<\/strong>Botox is suitable for the treatment of hyperkinetic facial expression lines. The most frequently treated areas are the wrinkles present\u00a0between the eyebrows, on the forehead, the crow\u2019s feet and nasolabial folds. However, your doctor will ultimately determine which areas are suitable for treatment in each par-ticular case.<\/p>\n How long will the effects of treatment last for?<\/strong>The initial effects are visible between 48 and 72 hours after treatment, and the maximum effect is reached in approximately 1 to 2 weeks. The effect lasts for\u00a0an average of 4 to 6 months, depending on each patient\u2019s metabolism, the technique used and the dosage. Contraindications Is Botox treatment safe?<\/strong>The safety and effectiveness of botulinum toxin type A for cosmetic and therapeutic measures has been tested in thousands of scientific studies per-formed around the world.<\/p>\n At the OGS Medical Institute Centre in Estepona, Botox is provided with all relevant medical guarantees achieving very satisfactory aesthetic results for all patients. Jorge Vazquez, the cosmetics doctor, is an expert in the most up-to-date Botox techniques.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When we make facial gestures, laugh or cry, our face muscles contract.
