The Focus Of Botox Treatment

Botox is seen by many in the industry as a miracle drug because of what it can achieve. On the most basic level, as a treatment for wrinkles in the upper third of the face, it is without parallel; these lines are called dynamic wrinkles because they are caused by the movement under the skin of your muscles. They are commonly known as frown lines and crow's feet and Dr Tapan Patel's patients usually seek treatment for these signs of ageing above all others because they make them look tired and angry.  Botox is a very safe treatment and, in the right hands, it can greatly improve your appearance. However, there are lots of other uses for Botox that are being discovered by medical practitioners, in terms of anti-ageing, facial shaping and beyond.

The other benefits of Botox

Other than being used in the anti wrinkle treatment, Botox can also be used to treat excessive sweating. This kind of excessive sweating is medically called as hyperhydrosis. Increased sweating can be a major problem in the lifestyle of a person and cosmetic injections like Botox can help in preventing such excessive sweating and the effect of the injection can last even up to a period of about six to nine months.

Some more advanced medical practitioners are exploring how Botox can be used in facial shaping. Injected carefully it can give you a lift to the eyes, give a downward 'frowning' mouth a more uplifted appearance and improve a gummy smile. One very successful treatment offered by dermal filler specialist Dr Tapan Patel of the VIVA Clinic is facial slimming. Many women clench their jaw muscles creating an unfeminine square shape to the jaw. By paralyising these muscles it is possible to radically change the shape of the face.

While these new developments are very exciting, it is always important to exercise caution before embarking on a treatment. Ask how many patients they've treated and what their success and complications rates are. A reputable medical practitioner, like Dr Tapan Patel at the VIVA Clinic, will only offer treatments that they know are safe and effective.
