Botox may be one of the world’s most famous cosmetic treatments, but it still leaves many people on the fence. We’ve all seen images of patients that have taken their pursuit to look younger to the extremes, resulting in an unflattering and emotionless appearance to the face. However, the experts at APSARAS Clinic still believe that Botox is the perfect non-surgical cosmetic treatment to fight the signs of ageing, and they are here to tell you why.

In order to understand why Botox (a form of muscle relaxing injection) is the perfect treatment to fight the signs of ageing, we must first understand what Botox is and how it works. Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic injectable that provides patients with an array of results, depending on how the substance is used. The injectable is most commonly used as an anti-ageing treatment, and provides an effective solution to the signs of ageing by restricting the mobility of the facial muscles.
This provides patients with an effective solution to not only their present signs of ageing but also the reduced development of further wrinkles, as it is due to a combination of overuse of the facial muscles and reduction in collagen that causes wrinkles to form. Restricting the use of the facial muscles removes one of the contributing factors, and gives patients a long term solution to the signs of ageing.

“There are many reasons why Botox is an effective solution to the signs of ageing. For example, Botox provides patients with a convenient solution to their signs of ageing. Botox treatment can be performed in as little as 30 minutes and requires very minimal recovery time; patients can sit the treatment at a time that fits their schedule and can return to their routine almost immediately following treatment,” explains Dr. Thevendra from APSARAS Clinic.
“In addition to this Botox can also patients with a more cost effective solution to their signs of ageing. Botox is considerably cheaper than many of its surgical alternatives and yet can provide patients with anti-ageing results that can match surgical procedures in some cases. This is a huge positive for many patients as it means they can gain the anti-ageing results they want at a snippet of the price.”

Botox comes with considerably less risk than cosmetic surgery. Although the treatment carries risks of infection and nerve damage, Botox still comes with dramatically lower risk factors compared to its surgical counterparts. This means patients can achieve a youthful appearance to their skin without the need to put their body under the additional strain that surgery can cause.

“The treatment also can work extremely well in combination with other cosmetic treatments. Unlike some cosmetic treatments Botox can be paired with a number of other treatments without causing an unnatural result. Botox is often used in combination with dermal fillers in order to create a powerful non-surgical anti-ageing team, and can produce some truly impressive results,” says Dr. Thevendra.

“The short term effects of Botox also makes the treatment the perfect cosmetic anti-ageing treatment for beginners to start with. The results are non-permanent, meaning patients can choose to decline further treatment at any point with no permanent augmentation to their appearance. This makes Botox the perfect treatment for those looking to dip their toe into cosmetic treatment before making a full commitment,” concludes Dr. Thevendra.
