BOTOX
Brandywine Med Spa is proud to be one of the top Botox providers in Kennett Square area with a Physician injector who has more than 18 years of experience in the fine art of Botox injections.
One of the most popular treatment options for wrinkle improvement is the injection of Botox or its alternatives, Jeuveau or Dysport. Repeated muscle contractions caused by frowning and squinting are the primary reasons people get wrinkles, fine lines and deeper lines. Botox can be thought of as a simple muscle relaxant for specific muscles in the face. When you relax those muscles, the result is softening (often dramatic) of fine lines and wrinkles. The results of Botox are highly satisfying and the treatment is simple and easy!
Botox is a purified protein that is often used in children, as well as many non-cosmetic medical conditions. Botox can be used between the brows, for crows feet, forehead lines, nasal lines, chin depressions, brow lifting and to improve downturn corners of the mouth. Botox can dramatically improve those areas of concern in just a few days with no downtime or surgery! The results typically last 3-4 months or more.
OTHER INDICATIONS OF BOTOX
Bruxism:
Botox injections can also be used to treat teeth clenching, also known as bruxism. Bruxism is a condition where a person grinds or clenches their teeth, often while sleeping. This can lead to dental problems, headaches, and jaw pain.
Botox injections can be used to relax the muscles responsible for clenching and grinding, reducing the intensity of muscle contractions and relieving the symptoms of bruxism. The injections are typically administered into the masseter and temporalis muscles, which are the primary muscles involved in jaw movement and clenching.
The effects of Botox treatment for bruxism can last for several months.
Facial slimming with Botox:
Facial slimming with Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting Botox into specific muscles of the face to achieve a more contoured, slimmer appearance.
The procedure is particularly effective for individuals with a round or square-shaped face due to the enlargement of their masseter muscles, which are located in the lower jaw area. By injecting Botox into these muscles, the muscles are weakened, causing them to reduce in size over time. This results in a slimmer and more defined facial contour.
The procedure typically takes around 15-30 minutes. It is important to note that facial slimming with Botox is not a permanent solution and typically lasts for around 3-6 months. As such, patients may need to undergo multiple treatments to maintain their desired results.
Overall, facial slimming with Botox can be an effective option for individuals looking to achieve a slimmer facial contour without
undergoing surgery.
Hyperhidrosis:
Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating that can occur in various parts of the body, including the underarms, hands, and feet. This condition can be both uncomfortable and embarrassing, and may significantly impact a person’s quality of life.
Botox iniections can be an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis, particularly for excessive sweating in the underarms. When injected into the affected area, Botox works by blocking the chemical signals that stimulate sweat glands, thereby reducing the amount of sweat produced. Botox injections for underarm sweating can provide long-lasting relief from excessive sweating for up to six to twelve months, depending on the individual.
Micro-Botox:
Micro-Botox (also known as mesotherapy Botox or intradermal botox) are very small units of Botox for areas like the neck, under eyes, cheeks which can soften smile lines tremendously
Botox Neck Lift:
Neck Botox is also referred to as Botox neck lift or Nefertiti neck lift because it tightens and rejuvenates the neck skin. Botox is injected into the platysmal bands on the neck that stick out. When these platysmal bands get Botox, the bands snap back and create a tighter, firmer neck.
Botox can dramatically improve those areas of concern in just a few days with no downtime or surgery! The results typically last 3-4 months and sometimes up to 6 months.
