Wrinkles form when we use our facial muscles to make expressions. For example, when we smile our eye wrinkles become prominent and when we frown the vertical lines between our eyebrows become noticeable. These are called dynamic wrinkles.
When we are young, dynamic wrinkles are visible only during such facial expressions. Our skin springs back to its original state afterwards and the wrinkles disappear. But as we get older, our skin loses its elasticity and the dynamic wrinkles remain to form static wrinkles and folds. These are more or less permanently visible and make us look older..
In the amounts used for the treatment of facial lines, the side effects are usually temporary and localized to the area of the injections. Possible side effects include headaches, pain, burning / stinging, swelling or redness at the injection site, local muscle weakness including drooping eyelids/eyebrows, swollen eyelids, skin tightness, tingling sensations, itching /aching forehead, nausea and flu-like symptoms.

Hand rejuvenation is a non-surgical approach used to address visible signs of ageing in the hands. With age, changes in skin quality, volume, and soft tissue can make the veins, tendons, and underlying structures of the hands more noticeable.
Dermal fillers may be used to restore volume and improve the contour of the back (dorsum) of the hands. In selected cases, fat grafting may also be considered as an alternative to injectable fillers. The choice of treatment depends on your skin quality, volume loss, anatomy, and individual requirements. Your doctor will explain the available options and their expected results during the consultation.
The procedure typically involves injecting the selected filler into specific areas of the back of the hands. The treatment time varies depending on the technique and treatment area.
The duration of results varies depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. Your doctor will discuss the expected duration during your consultation.
Hand rejuvenation generally involves minimal downtime. Temporary swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising may occur at the injection sites.
Most patients can return to their routine activities based on their doctor’s advice. A follow-up may be recommended to assess the results and determine whether any further treatment is required.
Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin used in controlled amounts for various medical and aesthetic applications. In aesthetic treatments, it is commonly used to temporarily reduce the activity of specific muscles responsible for certain dynamic facial lines.
Botox is a prescription medicine and should be administered by a qualified medical professional after an appropriate assessment.
Botox temporarily reduces muscle activity in selected treatment areas. This can soften the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are lines that become more visible with facial movement.
The treatment is carefully planned according to the individual’s facial anatomy, muscle activity, and treatment goals.
The aim of Botox treatment is not to eliminate natural facial expressions. The amount and placement of Botox can be adjusted according to the treatment area and desired outcome.
Individual results vary, and your doctor will discuss the expected effect during the consultation.
Botox is a non-surgical injectable treatment in which small amounts of botulinum toxin are administered into selected muscles using fine needles.
The treatment time depends on the number and location of areas being treated. Discomfort is generally brief, although some patients may experience temporary stinging or tenderness at the injection sites.
The dosage and injection points are determined by the treating doctor based on your individual anatomy, muscle activity, treatment area, and clinical requirements.
Botox works primarily by temporarily reducing muscle activity in the targeted treatment area. It is not intended to change the natural colour of the skin.
Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising may occur at the injection sites following treatment.
The effects of Botox are temporary. The duration varies between individuals and depends on factors such as the treatment area, dosage, muscle activity, and individual response.
Your doctor can advise you about the expected duration and whether repeat treatment may be appropriate.
Stopping Botox does not generally cause additional wrinkles beyond the natural ageing process. Once the effect wears off, the treated muscles gradually regain their activity and expression lines may become visible again.
The appearance of wrinkles over time can also be influenced by natural ageing, sun exposure, skin quality, and other individual factors.
The results of Botox develop gradually rather than immediately. Some changes may become noticeable within a few days, while the full effect may take longer depending on the individual and treatment area.
Your doctor will explain the expected timeline during your consultation.
Depending on your concerns and treatment goals, Botox may be combined with other aesthetic treatments. Whether combination treatment is appropriate depends on your individual assessment, medical history, and the treatments being considered.
Dr. Karishma can recommend a suitable treatment plan after evaluating your facial anatomy and specific concerns.
