Botox Pamplona
Botulinum Toxin Treatment
Botox, or Botulinum Toxin Type A, works by selectively and temporarily reducing the contraction of facial mimic muscles by blocking the neurological transmitter involved in this process.
Treatment with botulinum toxin type A (Botox Pamplona) is considered the treatment of choice for correcting facial expression wrinkles, especially in the upper third of the face. However, other therapeutic alternatives are possible, such as the use of fillers, or in any case, non-intervention.
The administration of Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is a simple, safe, and effective procedure that is performed on an outpatient basis by injecting small doses of the product into the problem areas to eliminate or reduce the wrinkle.
This response usually appears within 72 hours, and is practically complete within two weeks. Because TOXIN is a chemical mediator, it is contraindicated in certain circumstances, such as neuromuscular diseases (Eaton-Lambert syndrome or Myasthenia gravis), pregnancy and lactation, recent peels (with trichloroacetic or glycolic acid), or active infections at the injection site. Likewise, it can modify the expression in professionals of mimicry (actors, presenters, etc.), so if this is your case, you should let us know.
The response to treatment may vary when interacting with certain drugs, such as aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, calcium channel blockers, cyclosporine, or quinine.
The injection of Botulinum Toxin Type A acts by selectively and temporarily reducing the contraction of the muscles involved in facial mimicry, for a period of time that usually ranges between 4 and 5 months. However, and due to immunological processes, there may be no response to treatment (10% of cases). This resistance, however, may disappear spontaneously after a period of rest.
Despite a correct technique, the following complications may appear, which are generally mild and reversible:
- Discomfort, practically imperceptible alterations of cutaneous sensitivity, minimal hematomas or slight swelling at the injection site, or headache. They are mild and resolve spontaneously within a few hours. These are those associated with any injectable procedure.
- Difficulties in raising the eyebrow or palpebral ptosis due to diffusion of the toxin, infrequent (1% of cases) and treatable with α-adrenergic drugs, and in any case reversible.
- Slight asymmetries, which require a subsequent touch-up, are infrequent and in any case reversible. Infections at the injection site that can be treated with antibiotics, or allergic reactions could be possible.
