Many times in outpatient practice I have heard people say: “they did something for wrinkles but I don't remember what…. I only know that they were stings 'or to say that' Botox In Belfast did me a great job, it softened my bags under my eyes 'when it's impossible, it was a filler to fill and mask the bags, or even' with only 3 -4 small bites of filler have removed all the wrinkles of my forehead 'and also in this case it is a botulinum not a filler.

The Botox is a derivative bacterium that has to paralyze the muscles temporarily properties thus blocking the physiological tonic contraction that they have. In practice, the muscles are always a little contracted and with the botulinum they RELAX COMPLETELY managing to 'stretch' the overlying tissues.

With this it is easy to understand that if the skin of the forehead is stretched , the wrinkles caused by the contraction of the skin itself will disappear or will be markedly reduced .

For this reason it is used not only in the treatment and prevention of wrinkles but also in the 'remodeling' of some parts of the face, such as the eyebrow which could be held in position by muscles with antagonistic action and if the muscles that pull it down are weakened will get a raised eyebrow.

Both treatments are minimally invasive , that is, they require only a few small injections, they can be performed in a short time and do not require recovery .

Commonly there are no side effects being only in rare cases limited to a small bruising (bruise) in the injection area.

The duration of both is very similar in that both the time that the most common filler takes to reabsorb and the action of the botulinum to disappear is about six months , while the cost of the botulinum is greater, above all for the high cost of the drug.
