restores your skin's smooth and radiant texture and gives freshness to your face
At the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic, we’ve seen firsthand effectiveness of Botox as one of the basic aesthetic treatments for facial revitalization.
Taking care of one’s own face is mostly related to aesthetic reasons. Whether it’s the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation from sun exposure or certain asymmetries on the face, going for aesthetic treatments is becoming an increasingly common habit for many people.
Botox injections are based on ingredients that act as neuroblockers. Once the serum is injected, there is a temporary relaxation of the muscles.
With this action, the skin on your face is smoothed, getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines, but more importantly, it gives you the much-needed freshness in your face.
Although for years it was thought that Botox treatment was intended only for elites such as actors, singers and other celebrities, it seems that the situation has changed over the years.
According to a study published by the American Association of Plastic Surgeons, Botox treatments increased by 459% between 2000 and 2020. This is just one of the indicators that Botox therapy is becoming a standard procedure for skin rejuvenation.
At the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic, we’ve seen firsthand effectiveness of Botox as one of the basic aesthetic treatments for facial revitalization. This type of therapy is responsible for the rejuvenation of many of our clients, but also for the scientifically proven improvement in the field of mental health.
With our team of specialists, we successfully treat changes in your face by providing you with a smooth texture and youthful appearance of the skin. You no longer have to worry about applying layers of makeup or accentuating wrinkles when smiling, because botox therapies are the right solution to these problems.
The effectiveness of Botox therapy lies in nerve blockers that prevent muscle contraction in those areas where skin changes are more pronounced. Some of the main benefits of this treatment include:
Botox is most commonly used to reduce wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes (crow’s feet) and lips. These elements on the face are more prone to more frequent wrinkles of the skin due to facial expressions, but also external factors such as dry air or sun exposure.
Over time, the corners of the eyebrows droop and make us look sad. By properly injecting Botox, we can achieve a temporary eyebrow lift in a natural way.
Perhaps the most important indication of Botox for aesthetic purposes is to restore freshness around the eyes by properly initiating small amounts into the forehead area and around the eyes.
Gummy smile is a term used to describe excessive gum display when smiling. To treat this phenomenon, Botox is applied in the area between the upper lip and nose in order to relax the tissue in that place, preventing excessive lip lift and gum expression.
In cases where patients have a pronounced lower jaw, by injecting Botox into the muscles of the lower part of the face, we can shape that part of the face.
Over time, lines appear in the front part of the neck that represent the muscle – platysm – by properly injecting botox, we can smooth the entire neck and restore a youthful appearance
Excessive sweating, the so-called hyperhidrosis , can also be treated with Botox. Blocking the nerves that stimulate the sweat glands will reduce pronounced sweating in the area of the bald head.
After just a few days, you may notice sagging of the skin in the treated area and reduced wrinkles on the face, wrinkles on the neck and other unwanted phenomena.
Botox therapy does not require serious surgical procedures or other more complex procedures. We use thin needles and penetrate only the surface layers of the skin. Due to the minimally invasive procedure, we ensure a quick recovery and quick results.
Therapies like Botox have proven to be effective in treatments related to a person’s mental health. The action of neuroblockers relaxes the facial muscles, creating less tension and facial expressions that are characteristic of people suffering from anxiety or depression.
It should be emphasized that the effectiveness of Botox therapy is limited to 3-6 months, depending on the treated area and the body’s reaction to accepting the treatment. When the effect of Botox wears off, the muscles will regain the ability to contract, emphasizing the changes in the skin.
This is why we recommend Botox therapy every 6 months for optimal results. By regularly going for treatments, muscle contractions will not come to the fore, emphasizing the smooth and soft texture of the skin that we have achieved with this procedure.
The effectiveness of Botox therapy has been proven safe in over 100 medical indications:
Botox injections can relax the muscles in the forehead area and reduce the frequency of migraines.
Very often after diseases that cause facial paralysis, proper initiation of Botox can balance the face and restore symmetry.
The inability to control urine in some cases can be treated by injecting Botox into the bladder
In order to achieve the best possible results of Botox therapy, we need your cooperation. By taking proper measures before the treatment, we reduce the possibility of adverse reactions, and therefore it is necessary to adhere to the following guidelines:
If you use Aspirin, Andol or some other drugs that work to thin the blood, you should avoid them for at least a week before conducting Botox therapy. Drugs of this type can cause bleeding that further delays recovery.
Alcohol dehydrates the body, so it is necessary to avoid its consumption at least 24 hours before the treatment. Alcohol consumption can affect blood coagulation, and the dehydration it causes affects recovery after treatment.
Before Botox therapy, it is necessary to disinfect and thoroughly clean the skin. It is necessary to come to the treatment without makeup and without any creams on the face.
Consultations with our team of doctors are an unavoidable part of preparing for Botox treatment. During the consultation, we will discuss your wishes and expectations of the treatment, possible previous experiences, but also the risks that may occur after the procedure.
When you arrive at the polyclinic, we will direct you to the office where we will carry out the treatment.
After disinfection and facial cleansing, we will once again introduce you to the procedure and the recovery procedure.
The procedure, depending on the sensitivity of the area, can be performed under local anesthesia. For Botox treatment, we use New Local Vibration Anaestahsia from Neuvibe, which will make the procedure comfortable and painless.
When the anesthesia begins to work, we make light punctures with a needle on the targeted areas in the surface layer of the skin. By carefully selecting the areas on the face, we target only those muscles that cause wrinkles, while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Botox treatment lasts about 30 minutes, depending on the number of injections, the degree of wrinkles and the area we are treating.
After Botox therapy, you can immediately leave the clinic and continue with your daily activities.
Botox therapy does not fall into the category of complex procedures, so the recovery itself is quick and adequate without the need for drastic precautions or more serious home care.
However, there are certain guidelines that you should follow to avoid possible complications:
Areas treated with Botox should not be rubbed and massaged to avoid unwanted skin irritation.
Sports and intense exertion should be avoided for 24 hours after the procedure.
Do not use creams, lotions or other facial cleansing products for 24 hours after therapy.
Alcohol and drugs that work to slow blood clotting can prolong recovery, but also increase the risk of bruising or bleeding.
By following the following guidelines, you can avoid adverse reactions and speed up the action of Botox as much as possible. Results typically last 3-6 months, after which it will be necessary to carry out the treatment again.
Although at the Lohuis Filipović Polyclinic we have mostly positive experiences of Botox treatment, we must not exclude the possibility of complications that may occur after therapy.
Some of the most common risks of Botox therapy include:
After the injection, bruising and swelling at the injection site are possible. This is a common occurrence that goes away within a few days.
One of the possible side effects of Botox therapy is headache, which can occur once the anesthesia wears off. However, these headaches are weaker and go away in a few days.
In the case of treating the area around the eyes, there is a possibility that the eyelid muscles also sag, causing temporary drooping of the eyelids.
Botox treatment can lead to unevenness in muscle activity, which can result in facial asymmetry. This is a rare side effect of Botox therapy, and if it does occur, it is usually temporary.
If you notice a rash, itching, swelling or difficulty breathing after the treatment, it is possible that it is an allergic reaction to Botox or anesthesia. In situations like this, it is necessary to contact our medical staff as soon as possible.
It should be noted that most of these side effects are harmless, and according to the results of numerous Botox treatments, we are aware that their presence is not long-lived, especially with the intervention of our experts.
