Botox in Spain

Botox injections are widely used to help you to regain a more youthful appearance. It is commonly used for facial rejuvenation procedures to give a non-surgical face-lift.  It is great for the treatment of “Crow’s Feet” and forehead frown lines. These lines are caused when overactive muscle movement wears away the collagen in the skin and causes it to crease or wrinkle.

Botox is a bacterial toxin which injected directly into the muscles between your brows and works by blocking the signals from nerves and reducing the activity of the muscles (temporary paralysis). The procedure is painless and takes about 10-20 minutes. No recovery time is needed and you should begin to see an improvement within 3-4 days with the results usually lasting up to 4 months when the injections need to be repeated as the botox is broken down by the body.

Dermal fillers like hydrafil, teosyl and restylane are frequently used to treat deep smile lines, smoker’s lines around the lips, cheek contour depressions, and facial scars. Dermal fillers can also be used to plump up the lips.

Dermal fillers such as restylane are based on a degradable hyaluronic acid in the form of a clear gel. This gel is injected into the skin to create volume, smooth out wrinkles and restore fullness to lips. Due to their degradable nature dermal fillers also need to be injected regularly.

Anyone who is insured and has had the appropriate training can administer botox, but it is advisable to seek a practitioner who has a lot of experience in this field as there are many who offering this service with little experience.

The most common side effects after botox injections include temporary eyelid drooping and nausea. Localized pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, and/or bleeding/bruising may also be caused by the injection.

Do not have botox treatment if you have an infection where the botox will be injected; are allergic to any of the ingredients; are pregnant or think you might be pregnant or have a neurological disorder (eg: Myasthenia Gravis)

There are also a number of medicines that may interact with botox (eg: quinidine and some antibiotics) so it is important to tell the practitioner if you are taking any medication.
