Botulin Toxin & Fillers

Injections of Botulin Toxin and Dermal Fillers are the most requested procedures at SkinMed.

Botulin Toxin:

Botulin toxin has been manufactured by different pharmaceutical companies for quite a while. The most recognized brand names of the pharmaceutical botulin toxin are Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport. They all have the same concentration of the toxin, the difference is the size of the protein carrier and the storage.

The most common use of Botulin toxin injections to relax facial muscles for smoother uplifted face and younger look. Botulin has been used for both, wrinkle treatment and prevention. The earlier you start, the less wrinkles you will have when you age.

Botulin toxin can also be used to relax the chewing muscles to elongate the face and decrease teeth grinding.

Another indication for injected Botulin toxin is to reduce excessive sweating of palms, soles of the feet, and underarms.

Botulin prevents the stimulation of the sweat glands – and thereby reduces excess sweating.

Excessive sweating could impair one’s social and professional life: sweaty hands could be quite embarrassing during a handshake, sweaty feet could smell, and sweat stained armpits could prevent from wearing desired outfits.

When sweating cannot be controlled with topical creams, gels, or deodorants, Botulin toxin injections may be a good option.

Maximum results of the Botulin toxin injections are visible in about 2 weeks, and can last up to 9 months, depending on your own body’s metabolism and the dose of the Botulin toxin. Patients report improved quality of life and increased confidence after receiving the treatment.

Dermal fillers are synthetic injectable products that rejuvenate the skin by reducing wrinkles, raising scar depressions, enhancing lips, and replacing soft tissue volume loss through injections.

There are two major types of Dermal fillers: Hyaluronic acid based and Calcium based. All have different indications and injection technique. Which Dermal filler would be advised for you will depend on your treatment goals, place of injection, age, and sex.
