Botolinum Treatment

Are you living with insecurity about the creases on your forehead, around your eyes, or frown lines? Are you experiencing chronic pain, chronic headaches, or excessive sweating? Are you living in the Nairobi area? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you should consider getting BOTOX® Cosmetic at Avané Cosmetic Dermatology Clinic and Medical Spa, Nairobi, Kenya, where you will be in the safe hands of our amazing staff and physicians.

Botox cosmetic is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures  and is used to reduce the lines that make you feel uneasy. It contains a highly-purified protein, Botulinum Toxin type A, that affects the muscle beneath the skin. Over time, skin will age and crease throughout our life from the many expressions that we make. With Botox, the muscles’ activity is reduced, minimizing the lines that cause you the worry. In addition, it can be used to treat some medical conditions, such as excessive sweating, chronic pain, and chronic migraines.

The process all begins with a consultation; where you’ll have a discussion about the areas of concern and possible solutions. After a decision has been made in regards to what you would like, Dr.Pranav Pancholi or another qualified physician will ask you to make certain facial expressions to pinpoint where the injections need to be. Since there is no set amount as to how many units you must have for a certain area, this allows the physician to create a Botox plan specifically tailored to you. The Botox is injected with a significantly smaller needle than most into muscles around the outer eye if crow’s feet are an area or concern, the forehead to correct worry lines, and the muscle between and above the brow for frown lines. The procedure is painless and quick enough to be referred to as “the lunch break procedure”, taking only about 10 minutes of your time.

After the Botox injections, results may be visible within 24 to 48 hours after the procedure; lasting up to 4 months for the face and anywhere from 6-12 months for the underarms. In addition, your physician will be able to answer any questions to the best of their ability in regards to the timeline of your procedure. End results vary from patient to patient. In addition, you can return to your activities for the day after the procedure. You may see reduced visibility to the treatment area, like reduced crow’s feet, forehead creases, frown lines, etc.

The treatment is popular amongst men and women, but it is best to be in good physical health when you get the treatment done. Women who are pregnant or nursing and individuals with a neuromuscular are not advised to get Botox. It is also important to inform the physician about any preexisting medical conditions, vitamins, prescriptions over-the-counter medication, and any future medical procedures. You may experience headaches, discomfort at the site, eye problems, and temporary redness or bruising in the injection area.
