Slovenia BOTOX® Cosmetic - The Procedure
The commercial name of a botolinum toxin is botox®. Its main action is to selectively paralyze the muscles which case wrinkles by excessive contraction.
His first use was by an American ophthalmologist to treat strabismus; later on it became common practice in neurology, plastic surgery and as a treatment for excessive sweating.
Today there are two preparations available: the BOTOX, which is manufactured in USA and has FDA approval for use in plastic surgery and DISPORT which is manufactured in England. The concentration of a toxin is similar between the two and most of the surgeons agree that there is no significant difference between them. Although the FDA approval of the BOTOX makes is more popular and widely used then DISPORT.

Slovenia BOTOX® Cosmetic - Procedure Length
The injection itself takes a few minutes. The surgeon uses a special syringe and injects a small amount of botox to the muscles involved. Men usually require larger amount due to larger muscles. The effect takes place after a day or two and reaches its maximal effect after 10 days. The pain involving the injection usually well tolerated by most of the patients and there is no need in local anesthetics. In selected cases a sedative drug or local anesthetics can be used.
Slovenia BOTOX® Cosmetic - Effect Duration
The duration of the effect is usually 3 month for full effect and 8 month for partial effect. Longer action cases muscle fibers to degenerate therefore it is recommended to repeat the treatment after 3-4 month. After several treatments there are longer periods of time with full effect and usually much less botox required to achieve it. Many patients enjoy even the partial effect for long periods of time. There is no permanent effect.
Slovenia BOTOX® Cosmetic - Risks
The treatment proved to be relatively safe. Precautions include: know allergy to botox or albumin, muscle weakness, use of aminoglicozide antibiotics, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Common side effects include: bleeding around the injection sites, headache, flu like symptoms and local pain. Another unwanted effect is paralysis of adjacent muscles which may cause eyelid drop (usually partial), double vision and difficulty swallowing. Because only part of those muscles was paralyzed there is usually a full compensation of the remaining muscle after 2-4 weeks.
