Who is a good candidate to use botox?
People that have expression lines in the front, the brow and the "chicken legs" marked. Botox also can be used to diminish those wrinkles in the neck and the chin.
What does the consultation consist of?
In the first consultation, Doctor Andrés Mejía evaluates the thickness, texture and elasticity of the skin; the severity of wrinkles and creases, to determine where the botox will be applied.
All doubts are clarified; issues to be improved are defined, same as the procedure and care that must be taken after the application.
How is the procedure carried out? If Doctor Mejia considers so pertinent and in his office, same day of the consultation the application of butolinic toxin is completed. He proceeds to inject the toxin with a very fine needle in the zones established. According to the case the patient should wrinkle the brow, the front or the eyes to identify the mass of the muscle that is going to be treated.
¿Which are the risks by using botox? The butolinic toxin only can be applied by medical staff, and it complications are very rare. Among the most frequent it is the fall of the upper eyelid whether because was not injected correctly or because the patient did not follow doctor´s instructions after the application. The fall of the eyebrow queue is another complication but less frequent and normally is due to a wrong technique in its application.
Doctor Andrés Mejía has the adequate know-how to use this technique besides an extensive experience that guarantees that all his patients will reduce the complications to their minimum expression.
How is post surgery? After the application of the butolinic toxin the patient should not undertake any type of massage in the zone of injection. He/she should place local ice not direct in the zones treated.
Which will be the results? The results are immediate, the skin of the face will be seen more firm and toned up. The action of the toxin is highly variable but last approximately from 3 to 4 months. By this time the procedure is repeated to maintain the effect.
