Dr. Paul Silvester Clinic is one of the foremost facial aesthetics clinics in Bath, UK where you can undergo a number of Botox treatments for wrinkle reduction and hyperhidrosis. In today’s post, we are going to briefly discuss two Botox treatments you can avail at Dr. Paul Silvester’s chamber at Bath. 

Botox for Hyperhidrosis
Botulinum toxin aka Botox is basically a protein substance produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacteria which is now being used for treating the condition of hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating. Botox is licensed in the UK for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis and a few Botox injections would effectively reduce underarm sweating for at least 4-6 months. 

How does it work?
Botox works against severe axillary sweating by blocking the secretion of the chemical which is responsible for the activation of the sweat glands or the eccrine glands. The chemical is blocked at the end of the nerves in a way which won’t allow it to work on the muscles or glands. 

The Treatment Procedure
A fine needle is used to inject the Type A Botox a few centimetres apart in your armpit. Ideally, you’d need around 100 units of Botox for treating both the armpits and the treatment can take up to 6 months’ time.

You will notice a marked reduction in underarm sweating within one month after the completion of the treatment. 

Botox for hyperhidrosis is a painless treatment which would take less than half an hour of your time. You can go back to regular work once you are done with the session. 

Botox for Wrinkle Reduction
One of the most popular anti-ageing treatments of our time, Botox injections is a safe procedure which addresses a number of skin issues like wrinkles, fine lines and crow’s feet. 

Why go for Botox for wrinkle reduction?
Once we start getting older our facial skin starts to crease especially in the areas around the eyes, lips and forehead. These creases are a result of the continual use of facial muscles and a decreased production of elastin and collagen. Anti-wrinkle injections using Botox would significantly diminish the flexibility of the facial muscles and prevent them from flexing and moving which in turn keeps your skin from being creased as it recovers. The wrinkles will start to soften a week after your treatment and eventually fade away with time. The results are known to last for at least 6 months. 

Treatment Procedure
A number of injections will be given in the facial area with a fine needle. The injections don't cause much pain and you will be able to resume your daily work immediately after the session. This virtually painless treatment doesn’t involve the application of any local anaesthetic. 

Results 
The crow’s feet, frown lines and forehead lines would be significantly reduced or even vanish within 1-2 weeks. As already mentioned before the results of this treatment would last for around 6 months after which you need to go for a fresh session.

A dermal fillers treatment at Dr Paul Silvester’s Facial Aesthetics Clinic at Bath, UK would provide you with an easy way of reducing facial lines and restore the fullness of your face. Injectable dermal fillers is the most minimally invasive cosmetic surgery procedure which can work wonders for ageing facial skin. In this post, we are going to talk about the dermal fillers treatment and its many advantages. 

What are dermal fillers?
Naturally derived dermal fillers which come in the form of hyaluronic acid are injected on to the facial skin so as to pump up the area and add volume to your skin. Dermal fillers are very effective against wrinkles, crow’s feet, fine lines or marionette lines. Plumping of the facial skin diminishes the depressions, folds and wrinkles to give you a fresh and youthful appearance. Dermal fillers should not be confused with Botox even though both the processes involve injections. 

The Hyaluronic acid which is the prime content of the dermal fillers occurs naturally in our body and it immensely helps in hydration and addition of volume to the skin. It helps to fill up the gaps between the elastin fibres and collagen in the skin to give your face a younger appearance without affecting your facial expressions. The naturally occurring hyaluronic acid is one of the most effective skin rejuvenation products of our time. 

Areas which can be treated with dermal fillers include:

• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Enhancement of shallow contours
• Reconstruction of contour deformities in face
• Lip enhancement
• Softening or removal of recessed scars, creases and wrinkles
• Cheeks
• Rhinoplasty or nose lift
• Chin augmentation
• Under eye tear trough

Treatment Procedure
During the procedure, dermal fillers will be injected into the skin with a fine needle. The hyaluronic acid containing get would add natural volume to your face, even out the fine lines, give you voluminous lips or enhance your facial structure. An anaesthetic cream would be applied on the treatment area to prevent any kind of pain or discomfort during the procedure. The entire procedure will be concluded within 20-30 minutes after which you will be able to resume your regular activities. The best part about this treatment is that you get to see visible results within just one hour and more than often these results are known to improve with time. 

Side Effects
Dermal fillers don't come with any permanent side effect which is the reason why so many women from all around the globe are opting for this minimally invasive cosmetic procedure. Some of the immediate side effects which can bother you after the injection could include redness, swelling, itching or bruising. These side effects are temporary and gets better within a week’s time. 
​
Depending upon the type of fillers being used, dermal fillers generally last somewhere between 6 months to 2 years. If you are looking forward to permanent results then you should go for top-up treatments every 6 months –1 year. A derma filler treatment would diminish the appearance of scars and creases and give your face a more supple, radiant and youthful look in a way which ordinary skincare just cannot. 

Botox is another (trade name) for the Type A Botulinum Toxin which is a neurotoxin identified to be the major cause of botulism which paralyses the body muscles and, of course, could be fatal. This injection was first approved to treat most of the medical ailment including excessive underarm sweating, eyelid tics, and muscle spasms. But today, the uses of the Botox injection has grown beyond expectation and researches are still going on.

When performed by an expert or a professional, there aren’t notable side effects which make it safe for just anyone. Most of the listed possible side effects are just myths which include: 

1. Swell, bruising or pains at the injection site
2. Droopy eyelid 
3. Flu-like or headache symptoms
4. Excessive tearing
5. Eye dryness 

Whatever is the reason, ensure you select a Botox treatment expert to perform the operation and you’re safe. However, if there are any perceived symptoms or signs of botulism caused by the spread of Botox injection to other parts of the body like muscle weakness, vision impairment, a problem with swallowing, a problem with breathing and or loss of bladder control which are rarely encountered or as a result of unprofessional treatment. Any wrong or incorrect administration could be dangerous so, report to a specialised doctor right away if you notice any of these signs. This is very unlikely but it could happen if you’re not handled by an expert which is why you must be very careful while selecting a doctor for treatment.

Note: It’s highly and generally recommended against using Botox injection during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

There’s a remarkable history with Botox use in the United Kingdom and the sales have increased drastically over time. However, most people still ask if this treatment is restricted to women only?

Botox treatment isn’t restricted to women only judging with its medical benefits and use over time. Should women only benefit from this excellent wonders performed by Botox? Men deserve a young and glowing look too. There’s no hormone or anything in the body reacting to the Botox injection which is peculiar to men. In fact, the records for Botox are so much that only women should enjoy them.

Recently, a study by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery revealed that more men are turning to Botox injection use to help them look fresher and youthful and guess what? The number of men turned about 453, 281 in one year. Do you know what this figure is? It’s almost 10% of the total number of both women and men. Also, it’s revealed recently that a high number of British men desire the treatment with Botox.

Just like women, men deserve to look as good and youthful as possible in their offices and the desire isn’t wrong at all since the treatment doesn’t have any harmful effect on men specifically.

Men need to look more relaxed, stress-free and confident too. I believe you don’t like the way men seem to look like they’re frowning so much?

Judging with the robust benefits of Botox and safety records, it’s not restricted to only women. ​
