CONSENT INFORMATION

Botulinum toxin type A

 

How It Works?

 

Injection of tiny amounts Botulinum Toxin type A weaken the treated muscle/s and help prevent the formation of expression lines. The muscles injected will not function whilst the injection is effective (e.g: you will not be able to frown if the muscles involved in frowning are injected). This will reverse itself after a period of months. 

 
Risks and Side Effects

 

Side effects and complications are usually minimal. Occasionally, headache, slight swelling, and/or bruising may occur after injection. An adjacent muscle may be weakened for several weeks after an injection, which may cause a temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow.
