Botox, Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
Botulinum Toxin Type A (BOTOX) is also known as “magical drug” because it brings your age back. Basically Botulinum Toxin Type A (BOTOX) is used to remove wrinkles by causing temporary muscle weakness. It gives you very younger, beautiful and attractive look. It is FDA approved and used for facial wrinkles removal. Recently it is also used for treatment of excessive sweating of under arms, hands & feet as well.
Botox is used for treatment of dynamic wrinkles of face caused by contraction of underlying muscles every time you smile, laugh or frown. Injection is given in certain areas of face and it relaxes the muscles so they do not contract and allowing the overlying skin to remain smooth and unwrinkled.
Advantage of Botox is more youthful, pleasant appearance without significant downtime. It is an outdoor procedure and is performed without anaesthesia. Side effects are rare and would include mild bruising and temporary muscle weakness or drooping of eyelid or asymmetry of face, which may last for few weeks. However it is a safe drug when used by experienced, qualified and well trained person.

The thread lift is an easy way to smooth wrinkles and tighten sagging skin without going under the knife. The procedure involves inserting threads into the skin, which are then pulled tight, lifting the skin and underlying muscle to create a tighter, smoother complexion.
As the threads dissolve naturally, the skin starts to produce more collagen and elastin, which gives a longer-lasting result. The threads are inserted without anesthesia and it g gives results with out producing scarring.
Thread lifts can be used to treat a number of different areas, from smoothing horizontal and vertical forehead wrinkles to lifting the brow and outer eyebrow area and restoring volume to sagging cheeks. They can also smooth lines around the mouth and tighten sagging skin under the lower jaw.
