What is Botox?

Botox is a popular aesthetic medicine procedure that can help reduce the signs of ageing. It is an injectable form of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily paralyzes certain facial muscles to give the face a firmer and smoother appearance by reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Botox injections can be used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, frown lines and much more. It is important to consult a specialist before starting a Botox treatment.

Duration of effect of Botox

The effects of Botox can be seen within the first few days, but it usually takes 3-5 days for the full results of the treatment to become visible. Results vary from person to person and depend on various factors such as age, skin condition and number of injections. In general, the results last for four to six months. For these reasons, Botox has become one of the most sought-after cosmetic treatments for many people who want a youthful appearance.

How does Botox work?

Botox is a protein that very gently smoothes wrinkles on the face and neck, while at the same time tightening the skin. Botox is also used for medical purposes, e.g.

Why Botox?

Our facial wrinkles are the result of our facial expressions. Joy, anger, excitement, disappointment and surprise – all emotions are reflected in our face. What are initially only visible as fine lines in youth become fine lines and wrinkles as we age, which can no longer be compensated for by facial expressions. Botox is an effective and safe method of reducing wrinkles and fine lines and gives the face a more youthful, smoother appearance.

What happens during a Botox consultation?

During a Botox consultation , your dermatologist will discuss the desired aesthetic result and assess your skin before performing the injections. She may also perform an examination to determine how many injections are needed and where the injections are best placed. At this time, the specialist can also answer your questions about the procedure and any potential risks or side effects. You can also take this opportunity to ask about the aftercare instructions you should follow to achieve the best possible treatment results.

What happens during a Botox treatment?

During treatment with Botox, a specialist injects the active ingredient botulinum toxin type A very precisely into the areas of the face to be treated. These injections temporarily paralyze and thus relax the facial muscles, reducing or eliminating wrinkles and fine lines. To minimize discomfort and ensure safety, your dermatologist may apply a topical anaesthetic cream or use cool packs before the procedure.

Start of treatment

Once the anesthetic has taken effect, your doctor injects the Botox solution into your face using small needles at specific points. The entire procedure usually takes about 15 minutes, depending on how many injection sites are to be treated. Afterwards, you should be able to see results within 3-5 days, such as smoothing and tightening of the treated area, with optimal results lasting up to 6 months with proper care.

What should be considered after a Botox treatment?

Your dermatologist in Vienna, OÄ Dr. Med. Barbara Franz, strives to achieve the best possible results with Botox treatments. In order to achieve optimal long-term results and the longest possible duration of effect, we recommend follow-up examinations to monitor changes in the condition or results. Depending on the individual case, the treatment can be repeated at certain intervals and adapted to the desired aesthetic goals.

Additional aftercare instructions

We also recommend additional aftercare instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure for a few days after treatment, avoiding facial massages or mechanical shocks from exercise and using topical creams to reduce redness and irritation. To achieve the best possible results with Botox injections, regular aftercare is essential.

Why is sun protection essential after Botox treatment?

Sun exposure after a Botox treatment can cause the injected areas to become red, swollen and sensitive. In addition, sun exposure can reduce the effectiveness of Botox treatments as the muscles in the injected area contract more than those not injected, which can cause wrinkles to return more quickly. The ultraviolet rays from the sun or tanning bed can also accelerate the breakdown of Botox, reducing its longevity and effectiveness.

Avoid exposure to the sun directly after treatment!

To ensure the best results from your Botox injections, you should avoid direct sunlight for a few days after the treatment and then wear sun protection with a sun protection factor of at least 30. Here are our tips for your skin care in summer!
