At Avané clinic, we offer you a chance to rejuvenate your skin through the world-acclaimed Botox treatment at friendly costs and bring it near you.
All about Botox.
Botox is a medical drug obtained from Botulinum toxin, which is produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. In itself, Botox is a toxin but with the right use under the right doctors, it can be used to treat wrinkled skin, and this is what we promise to offer at Avané Clinic. Botox is a neurotoxin that targets the neural system and attacks the nervous system obstructing the normal neural signals responsible for the stimulation of muscle contractions, hence causing paralysis of the muscles, albeit temporarily. It is administered by the use of a small injection on the area under treatment. It is not only used to sort out wrinkles but also deals with:
- Neck spasms (cervical dystonia),
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis),
- Overactive bladder
- Lazy eye
- Managing an overreactive bladder
- Crossed eyes (strabismus)
- Lower limb spasticity
- Chronic migraines.
- Eyelid spasm(blepharospasm)
Being one of, if not the best dermatology clinics in the region, means that we have to be careful about what treatments we use and their safety should match our high standards in medical treatments. We have to ensure that the procedures are safe a highly efficient with no or minimal side effects. At Avané clinic, our patients are under the care of Dr Pancholi, and his able team of specialists. Dr Pancholi is a leading dermatologist in the country and our lead consultant at Avané clinic. He works with a team of well-trained and experienced medics who are out to grant you the best treatment sessions and give you the best possible look in a lifetime. In case you were concerned about the services, and are unsure of what to expect, we give you our word that at Avané clinic, we can only offer you the very best, and nothing less.
With regard to the safety of the procedure, Botox is FDA-approved for use in aesthetical cosmetics and was initially approved for blepharospasm and other eye muscle problems in 1989. However, in 2002, the FDA approved its cosmetics treatments and severe lines between the eyebrows. It was later on approved for the treatment of wrinkles around the corner of the eyes (crow’s feet) in 2013. In addition to this, our specialists have performed the procedure countless times and are thus, well versed in the professionalism around the treatment. The procedure is done in highly hygienic environments at our clinic, reinforcing the safety precautions. Botox is a poisonous product if wrongly administered, compromising the safety around it. One has to be careful about how it is used and who is handling the treatment, to avoid casualties. Our professionals at Avané clinic are apt to the task and will take care of you well, to avoid compromising your safety and uphold the efficiency of the treatment. A guarantee for safety and effective treatment is what we at Avané clinic offer.
The treatment journey starts with a consultation with Dr Pancholi or one of the specialists. The medic will take in details of your medical history, as well as discuss your objective and expectations from the treatment. The medics also offer medical help where you may have queries regarding the treatment to increase your knowledge as well as clear any doubts you have before settling on the treatment. They are experts in the treatment, thus you will be getting real-life advice from the best specialist in the field (Talk of sages in that matter). The specialist then maps out the area to be treated and also determines the quantity of treatment to use. This is because there is no exact quantity set for use, but rather, it depends on the individual, and the size of the area to be treated.
The procedure
The procedure is performed at the doctor’s office since it is an outpatient treatment. You are advised to clear up any makeup (in case you had any) and the face is cleansed well before treatment. Once settled, the medic will use tiny needles to inject minute amounts of botulinum toxin into the neuromuscular tissues (skin) carefully. The number of injections and the amount of drug used depends on the extent of the area being treated. The procedure is painless and no anaesthesia is required. However, in some cases, where one has certain concerns, discomfort or insecurities, we advise that you share this information with your doctor, who uses numbing cream during the procedure. The procedure is fast and simple, taking about 10 minutes to complete. The results can however be seen in 2 or 3 days after treatment for facial treatments. It is also long-lasting and can stay for up to 3 to 12 months, depending on the area and how well one takes care of their skin post-treatment.
Botox is highly effective, but the results vary from one individual to another. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, it also depends on how well one takes care of their skin after treatment. The medic will advise you on the healthy precautions to follow to aid in a quick recovery and longer-lasting effects. These include: not bending over for about 3 to 4 hours after treatment and avoiding rubbing, massaging or applying pressure on the treated area for a couple of days. This may cause the Botox to spread to other non-intended areas. Another precaution is eating healthy foods, avoiding strenuous activities, alcoholic drinks and overexposure to sunlight for about 1 week after the treatment.
Possible side effects and risks involved.
Botox is safe and extremely effective, but just like any other medical procedure, it does have some minor side effects. These include slight pain, swelling, bruising, redness, headaches, neck pain, indigestion, and flu-like symptoms for a few hours or days after treatment. These are however temporary and manageable through antibiotics and painkillers that the doctors will prescribe should the need arise. In some extremely rare cases, the injection may cause drooping of eyelids and eye irritations. If not well managed, Botox can cause drastic effects on the recipient’s body as it is toxic and in large amounts, it can be poisonous. It is this recommended for the injection to be administered by trained personnel, just like the ones we have at Avané clinic. Avoid quacks who only want to use you.
Benefits.
Botox treatment provides a remedy for wrinkles and other skin defects such as creases, crow’s feet lines and frown lines. The procedure is minimally invasive, unlike surgical procedures, and involves little to no side effects. It is also painless, fast and simple. The procedure has zero downtime, enabling patients to return to their normal work and routines immediately after the procedure. It is safe and practised with precaution. It also helps avert other conditions and is long-lasting, if well cared for. In addition to this, Avané clinic adds an extra perk in the benefits, since the treatment is cheaply available, done safely and you will be under the care of the best personnel in the field.
In case you are wondering if you make a good candidate for the treatment, Botox is open to all people across all gender, race and skin types. We are however sceptical about performing it on pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. This is because there is not enough research data that outline the possible effects or lack of, on the babies. Botox is also not recommended for people with neuromuscular diseases, drooping eyelids and weak facial muscles. People in this group are however advised to consult our medics, who will recemented alternative forms of skin rejuvenation treatments at our clinic, that are safe for them
