| Botox ® |
|
| The MHRA granted a license for cosmetic use of Botox ® in
February 2006. Botox ® has now been rebranded as Vistabel ® |
| Some people find that there is nothing funny about
laughter lines around the eyes. Others may find that
when they concentrate closely on something they develop
frown lines that make them appear to be cross or unhappy.
Also, though you may have earned every one of your worry
lines, you might not want the world to see them. |
| If any or all of the above are true for you than Vistabel ® injections
may be the answer you are looking for. Vistabel ® injections
address dynamic wrinkles caused by emotion. These wrinkles
are caused by contraction of the delicate facial muscles
every time you laugh, smile, frown or concentrate. |
| Vistabel ® blocks impulses from the tiny facial muscles
so that they do not contract. The untreated muscles contract
in the usual fashion thus allowing normal facial expression. |
|
|
|
| The treated areas remain smooth and unwrinkled. This
is called cosmetic denervation and it is a new use for
an approved drug that has been safely utilised for eleven
years to treat many neurological and opthalmological disorders. |
| Vistabel ® is quickly becoming a very popular, safe
treatment for reversing the visible signs of emotional
ageing. |
| A very fine needle is inserted precisely though several
layers of the face and a small amount of diluted Vistabel ® is
injected. Local anaesthetic cream may be applied to the
areas prior to treatment and the procedure is relatively
painless. |
| Side Effects |
| Side Effects are very rare: though bruising is the most
common. There are others but all possibilities will be
explained to you in detail before any treatment takes place. |
| Vistabel ® treatments are safe, effective and very
quick. The results are not immediately visible but will
become apparent within 3-10 days. |
| Cosmetic denervation using Vistabel ® can visibly
soften and smooth out dynamic wrinkles and give one a youthful,
stress free appearance. Some people benefit from a Vistabel ® / filler
mix either for one area of the face or a few areas. Others
may require either Vistabel or filler and it is the priority
of your very experienced practitioner to ensure that you
are advised correctly. |
