Botox Injections: How Do They Change Your Body?

You probably already know that Botox injections can make you look younger. But how exactly do botox injections change your body? Get your answers here.

Botox is a drug that has been used by plastic surgeons in Dubai for years to treat or minimize wrinkles and facial creases. It is a brand name of a toxin made from the Clostridium Botulinum bacterium. Although there are other brands like Xeomin and Dysport, Botox takes center stage as it has been in use longer and has more benefits than the other alternatives. 

Although the largest group of users of Botox is of the people that are aging and are trying to conceal wrinkles and creases as a result of natural causes, anyone is free to get the treatment, as long as the doctor has medically cleared you. In fact, Botox usage has gained tremendous popularity among those in their 20s. 

You probably are aware of the benefits of Botox treatment in Dubai, but do you know how exactly the drug works? 

This post takes you through all you need to know regarding Botox treatments and how they alter your body. 

How is Botox Used?

Before delving further into how Botox alters your body, it would be prudent to have a quick run-down of why it is used. The most common reason doctors use Botox is to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. But getting Botox shots can also help treat other conditions like:

How Does Botox Work?

In layman’s terms, Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles. This means that the target area that receives the Botox shots cannot contract, making the wrinkles relax and soften. This is why most satisfied patients use Botox shots in Dubai to treat forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. 

So, how exactly does Botox achieve those results? Beyond Wrinkles: Surprising Uses for Botox You Didn’t Know Existed.

1. Botox trains your muscles.

According to Dr. Tarek Bayazid, the lead plastic surgeon at Dr. Tarek Aesthetics, continuous use of Botox trains your facial muscles not to make wrinkle-forming expressions as aggressively. This means that even if the toxin wears off, you will be more aware of the movements of your body that make such expressions. 

Furthermore, you may need fewer Botox injections as time goes by. After a period of regular shots, your doctor may advise you on less regular visits. Your muscles will have been trained ‘not to move’; hence you will not need as many shots as before.

2. Botox weakens the muscles.

It is a no-brainer that if you didn’t use something for a prolonged period (several years), you might find it difficult to use them again at some point. That is the same case with Botox.

Botox weakens the muscles in your face that are responsible for making frowns or wrinkles appear. After various years of not using such muscles, they will eventually weaken or atrophy from the lack of use. 

That’s not to say that your entire facial muscles will atrophy. No, just the targetted ones. 

Botox is injected in discrete locations on your face, meaning only those specific muscles will atrophy, leaving other muscles to maintain their full volume. This means your face will not look stone-cold, as you will still be able to make facial expressions. 

3. Botox brightens skin and decreases wrinkles.

Long-term use of Botox will significantly improve your appearance by brightening the skin and decreasing wrinkles. Your skin appears smoother as fine lines and deep wrinkles reduce substantially or vanish.

4. Botox might make your face appear visibly thinner.

Have you ever hoped to get a slimmer facial appearance? One of the lesser-known benefits of Botox is to give someone with a round or square-shaped face a slimmer appearance. 

Some of the best plastic surgeons in Dubai have achieved this by strategically injecting Botox into specific areas of your face, such as into the masseter muscles (muscles found at the back of the jaw).

5. Alter your jawline.

Yet another lesser-known benefit of Botox is its ability to alter your jawline. This is also achieved by reducing the size and tension in the masseter muscles, which can alter or exaggerate the jawline. This is quite a useful feature to men, as Botox can fix asymmetries and undefined jaws.

6. Change the contours of your nose.

Did you know that Botox offers a better alternative for those who want to alter the shape or contours of their nose?

Rhinoplasty surgery in Dubai is hands-down one of the best and quickest methods available for one to alter the shape or contours of their nose. However, rhinoplasty means a longer downtime. The surgery itself might take hours, and you will need a couple of weeks before you are completely healed. 

An alternative procedure that’s far less invasive (not at all invasive) and offers similar results is Botox. 

Botox can help change the shape of your nose by fixing bumps, the shape of the tip, and even improving a crooked appearance.

Not everyone can be a good candidate for ‘liquid rhinoplasty’ or ‘liquid nose job’ as the procedure is often called. Ensure to book a consultation with Dr. Tarek Aesthetics to help you be in the know if you are an ideal candidate.

How is a Botox Procedure Done?

Getting Botox only lasts a few minutes, and you won’t need anesthesia. Your plastic surgeon will inject Botox into the specific muscles, depending on your overall goals. There isn’t pain, only minor discomfort that only lasts a few minutes.

The first step to getting Botox injections in Dubai is booking your consultation with the best in the industry. Dr. Tarek Aesthetics has had uncountable success stories from Botox administration. During the consultation, you will discuss with your doctor your motivation for getting the procedure done and also what your goals are. 

As you prepare for your Botox procedure, you will be advised on what to do, including avoiding certain medications and drugs. You’ll also be advised to avoid rubbing the injected region for at least the next 24 hours, among other simple instructions. You should expect to see the results take shape at least a week or two after the procedure.
