Best Botox And Dermal Filler Treatment Near Coulsdon
Repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, and smiling gradually lead to the formation of dynamic wrinkles, making the skin appear aged. Botox is a well-established non-surgical cosmetic treatment that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles, softening lines and preventing them from deepening. It is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, as well as concerns such as platysmal bands (turkey neck) and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). With minimal discomfort and no downtime, Botox provides a smoother, refreshed appearance while maintaining natural facial expressions. This treatment is expertly performed by Dr. Nankani.
Dermal fillers, on the other hand, restore lost volume and smooth out deeper wrinkles by injecting a gel-like substance beneath the skin. Unlike Botox, which relaxes muscles to prevent expression lines, fillers plump the skin to address volume loss, contour facial features, and diminish deeper lines. Common areas for treatment include cheeks, nasolabial folds, lips, and under-eye hollows. The effects are immediate and can last from 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used. This service is also provided under the expert care of Dr. Nankani.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Botox : Effectively treats frown lines, forehead creases, crow’s feet, and wrinkles. It is also used for reducing the appearance of platysmal bands (turkey neck) and managing hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
Dermal Fillers : Used to restore volume in areas like cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and under-eye hollows. Fillers can also enhance facial contours and define features.
What Happens During the Treatment?
Botox : During the consultation, the expected outcome and suitability of Botox treatment are discussed. A medical history review ensures that the procedure is safe for you. Before and after photographs may be taken to track results. A consent form is signed before the treatment begins. The targeted area is cleaned with antiseptic, and small amounts of Botulinum toxin are injected into specific points using a fine needle. The procedure is quick, and most patients experience only mild discomfort.
Dermal Fillers : Before the procedure, pain control options may be discussed. The filler is injected using various techniques to achieve the desired results. The procedure involves a sterile, pre-filled syringe, and the treatment area is massaged to ensure even distribution. The results are immediate, though mild swelling or redness may occur initially.
What to Expect After the Treatment?
Botox : The effects of Botox begin to show within 3 to 4 days, reaching full impact in about 10 to 14 days. Minor side effects may include temporary redness, slight bruising, or mild discomfort. Bruising can be minimized by avoiding aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, strenuous exercise, and air travel for two days after the procedure.
Dermal Fillers : The results are visible immediately, though mild swelling and redness may persist for a few days. Some patients experience minor bruising, which fades over time. The treated area may feel slightly firm initially but softens naturally as the filler integrates with the skin.
Repeat Procedures
Botox : The results typically last for 3 to 4 months, depending on the area treated and individual response. Regular maintenance treatments, approximately 3 to 4 times a year, help retain the desired effect. Over time, fewer treatments may be needed as the muscles adapt and contract less.
Dermal Fillers : The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used and the treated area. Results generally last between 6 to 18 months. Regular touch-up treatments can help maintain the desired appearance.
Contraindications for Treatment
Botox : Not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have neuromuscular conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Myasthenia Gravis, or Bell’s Palsy. Patients taking medications like penicillamine, aminoglycoside antibiotics, or calcium blockers should avoid Botox treatment. It is essential to discuss any medications and allergies with Dr. Nankani beforehand.
Dermal Fillers : Individuals with a history of severe allergic reactions, active skin infections, or autoimmune conditions may not be suitable candidates for dermal fillers. Those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also avoid treatment. A consultation with Dr. Nankani will determine suitability.
Potential Side Effects
Botox : Temporary swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common side effects. In rare cases, mild muscle weakness or temporary eyelid or brow drooping (ptosis) may occur but usually resolves within 2 to 10 weeks. Eye drops may help accelerate recovery. If necessary, additional Botox injections can be used to adjust eyebrow positioning.
Dermal Fillers : Injection-related side effects such as bruising, swelling, and redness are common but temporary. Less frequent side effects include localized infections or reactions to the filler. A more serious complication arises when fillers obstruct blood supply, potentially leading to scarring, tissue loss, or even blindness in rare cases. Treatments near the forehead, nose, lips, and eye area require expert care to minimize risks.
