Removal of orange chin with BTX
Botulinum toxin is a substance produced in nature by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. BTX produced synthetically and under laboratory conditions is commonly used in medicine, namely in neurology, dermatovenerology and especially also vestetic medicine. Correctly applied BTX by an experienced certified doctor can effectively and purposefully limit the movement of specific facial muscles, thereby smoothing facial wrinkles and skin. In addition to wrinkles between the eyebrows, at the base of the nose, in the area of the outer corners of the eyes (crows feet), wrinkles on the forehead, lifting droopy corners of the mouth or lifting eyebrows, we also use it to remove orange peel.
Before the treatment, you will arrange a consultation with a doctor, who will analyze the quality of your skin, the extent and intensity of the "orange peel" structure and suggest a suitable treatment.
The application of the neurotoxin itself is not difficult. The doctor uses a fine needle to inject a small amount of the active substance into a predetermined location. The injection itself does not hurt, it usually only involves a small pinch, which can be a little uncomfortable. However, it fades quickly.
In some cases, the skin is slightly reddened after the procedure. However, within a few minutes, hours at most, you will not see any traces of the injection.
However, it is important to respect certain rules of recovery:
- 4 hours after BTX application, remain upright with head above shoulder level, do not bend forward
- do not touch the treated area
- don't wear makeup
For the next 2 weeks after the treatment, avoid extreme temperatures such as a sauna, steam room or extreme cold. It is also advisable to protect the treated area from the sun's UV radiation with creams with a high SPF. If you are considering further aesthetic procedures in the chin area, wait at least 2 weeks after BTX therapy.
Neurotoxins are generally effective for approximately 4 to 9 months. After that, the procedure must be repeated.
