Botox injection on the body

Botulinum toxin is used to treat neck contractions that are caused by muscle tension in the cervical bands.

This is accompanied by a loss of facial contours. Although aging of the neck is often associated with sagging skin, it is also very often caused by the contraction of the platysma muscle, which causes the jowls and corners of the mouth to droop.

Botulinum toxin injection treatments are very effective in improving the appearance of the neck and the jawline.

At the jaw level, the injection of botulinum toxin makes it possible to temporarily eliminate excessive teeth grinding, which is often involuntary and occurs at night.

This phenomenon is a contraction of the jaw which can result from a bad position of the mandible at rest, an inflammation of the masseters, or be linked to dental causes. The consequences can be numerous and have repercussions on the quality of sleep, tooth loosening, tinnitus, or vertebrae contractures. Visually, this is characterized by a modification of the lower face with a square jaw effect.

The injection of botulinum toxin in the masseter muscle located above the jaw will cause a relaxation. T he muscle will contract less under the effect of the toxin which will stop the transmission of the signal between the nerve and the muscles. The effect of the treatment lasts about five months.

Sweating is a natural physiological phenomenon that allows the body to cool down during exercise or in hot weather. Perspiration plays the role of a thermostat. Perspiration, also called sweating, is concentrated in different parts of the body: under the armpits (axillary hyperhidrosis), in the scalp, the back, the chest, even the hands and feet.

In some people, a dysfunction of the sweat glands can cause a greater than normal production of sweat and cause a disturbance of the body thermoregulation. This is called hyperhidrosis or hypersudation.

Hyperhidrosis is a chronic problem that manifests itself as uncontrollable and unpleasant excessive sweating, mainly concentrated in the armpit area, on the face, hands, or feet.

Thanks to botulinum toxin injections in the areas concerned by the discomfort, the influx of sweat can be regulated by reducing the activity of the sweat glands.

The practitioner determines the area to be treated by applying starch powder that will darken on contact with the sweaty skin. Once the area is identified, the doctor applies an anesthetic cream before proceeding with the subcutaneous injection of botulinum toxin. The treatment is performed in a single session.
