Botox alternative injections

The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, often referred to by its product name Botox alternative®, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that Botox alternative is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

How do Botox alternative® injections work?

In laypersons terms, Botox alternative® simply keeps the muscles that cause frown lines from contracting. This causes the skin to become smoother. Normally your brain sends electrical messages to your muscles so that they can contract and move. Botox alternative® keeps that message from getting to the muscle that causes the wrinkles.

Technically, Botox alternative® Cosmetic is injected directly into the corrugator and procerus muscles. It then goes on to enter the nerve endings to block the release of acetylcholine, the chemical that causes muscles to contract. Botox alternative® works to block the release of acetylcholine and, as a result, the muscle doesn't receive the message to contract. Once the muscles are at rest, the skin becomes smoother, creating a more natural and relaxed appearance.

Are Botox alternative® injections safe for me?

Ask your doctor if Botox alternative® is the right treatment for you. Botox alternative® should not be used during pregnancy, if you are nursing, or if you are taking certain medications. Only your physician can determine the best course of therapy. Botox alternative should not be used on patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a neurologic disease. The effects of Botox alternative® may be increased with the use of certain antibiotics or other drugs that interfere with neuromuscular transmission. Ensure that your doctor is aware of any current medications you are taking. If you have any questions regarding the use of Botox alternative® treatment, please consult your doctor.

How effective are Botox alternative® injections?

The majority of patients (82.5%) reported an improvement in glabellar lines after a week. Results were still reported up to 4 months later.

How long does the Botox alternative® injection procedure take, and how long to recover?

The procedure takes about 10 minutes. Since the procedure is nonsurgical, no recovery time is needed. After Botox alternative® Cosmetic treatment, you can get back to work or other activities right away.

How long does Botox alternative® last?

This depends entirely on the patient, but a single treatment of Botox alternative® will normally be sustained for approximately three months. You will notice a gradual fading of its effects. At this point you will return to your doctor for your next treatment.

Usually, Botox alternative® treatment is required only three or four times a year. Symptoms may vary throughout the course of the condition, and so the degree of relief and duration of effect varies from person to person. Consult your doctor, who has special knowledge about how to achieve the best possible results with Botox alternative® for your individual case.
