The essence of the method
First you need to understand that facial wrinkles on the forehead come in different types. They may be caused by the characteristics of the muscle activity of a person's face or may depend on the person's age. That is, the fairly common opinion of the majority that wrinkles appear in women only after 40-45 years is not true. Wrinkles on the forehead can appear in both older women and fairly young girls. In this regard, getting rid of them should be carried out in each case in my own way. That is why our clinic offers clients a huge number of different procedures to combat facial wrinkles. And yet, the main principle of combating facial wrinkles on the forehead is to inject various drugs under the skin, which block nerve impulses and thus relax the facial muscles.

At a preliminary consultation, our specialists assess the condition of the tissues and skin, determine the area of the surface to be treated, help weigh the pros and cons, tell you how much a Botox injection costs and calculate how many units of the drug are needed for the procedure.
You first need to do a little preparation, which consists of refusing to take the following on the eve of the procedure:
- antibiotics;
- drugs that prevent blood clotting (for example, Aspirin);
- alcohol (it is also not recommended to drink alcohol after the procedure).
The doctor may place marks on the skin where injections are planned. For example, injections into the forehead or nasolabial folds are characterized by a large treatment area, which means that the doctor will need filigree precision in the process of administering the drug.
The Botox injection technique involves using a syringe with a short and very thin needle; this is the approach that makes the procedure quick and painless. The Botox injection only takes a few minutes, and the results will be noticeable within a couple of days.
The procedure is carried out after consultation with a doctor.
No anesthesia is required for Botox or Dysport injections except when the procedure is performed on the armpits, feet or palms (solving the problem of hyperhidrosis). For anesthesia, special preparations with lidocaine are used, which are applied to the injection area.
The next step is to treat the skin with a special product, after which the drug is injected into the treatment area. The finest needles are used to carry out the procedure, so there is no pain at all. A botulinum toxin injection session takes no more than 5-7 minutes.
The cosmetologist who performed the procedure will tell you what not to do after the Botox procedure. Thus, under no circumstances should you massage the injection sites or apply any other pressure to them.
After the session, you should remain exclusively in an upright position for at least 4 hours. For 24 hours after the procedure, you should try not to strain the muscles in the treatment area. Antibiotics are also not allowed. Prohibited activities include drinking alcohol and exposure to heat on the face and body (bathhouse, sauna, solarium, beach).
The maximum effect after the procedure is noticeable by the end of the second week.
Further, it is optimal to repeat Botox injections in the first 2 years at intervals of 6 months, for 3-4 years – once a year.
Botox or Dysport injections
Botulinum toxin is the main component of all drugs that are injected to relax facial muscles. This substance is included in both Botox and Dysport. Essentially, these are two analogues that have the same effect on the facial muscles. Their main difference lies in the manufacturer: Botox is produced by the American pharmaceutical concern Allergan, and the drug Dysport is a French brand. In addition, these drugs have different expiration dates and the number of units of the substance in the package.
What to choose - Botox or Dysport - will be advised to the patient by a cosmetologist, focusing on his individual parameters.
How do Dysport and Botox work?
Immediately after injection of the neurotoxin, the motor impulse is blocked, which is transmitted along the nerve from the brain to the muscle fiber. Thanks to this mechanism, the facial muscles are constantly in a relaxed state, while their atrophy, which is extremely important, does not occur.
After just 5-7 days, you can see the effect of the procedure, the peak of which occurs at the end of the second week (in rare cases, the maximum result was achieved by the end of 4 weeks after the session).
Repeated injections of Dysport or Botox can be administered only when muscle activity has returned to no more than 50% of the initial level.
Which is better - Botox or Dysport?
The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation has approved Botox and Dysport, which means their absolute approval for use in our country. These drugs have proven themselves to be the best in the field of aesthetic cosmetology, as they allow you to achieve excellent results in a short time and maintain them for a long time.
The cosmetologists of the Laser Doctor clinic know everything about how to get rid of wrinkles on the forehead.
With the help of Botox or Dysport, you can solve problems such as:
facial wrinkles under the eyes, in the bridge of the nose, forehead;
hyperhidrosis of the feet, armpits, palms.
There are a lot of legends surrounding botulinum toxin injections. In particular, people are confident that with the help of these drugs they can increase the volume of their lips or change their shape. In fact, the use of a neurotoxin for this purpose is prohibited, since blocking nerve impulses in the lip area will cause them to become completely immobilized, but not to become larger.
The issue of lip augmentation is dealt with by contour plastic surgery, which is carried out using completely different drugs.
Botox injections into the forehead and other parts of the face can be started at a fairly young age, since some people have a feature of the early appearance of wrinkles associated with a genetic factor or with overly mobile facial expressions.
They are shown removing facial wrinkles using botulinum toxin injections, which provide short-term blocking of facial muscles. As a result: the skin smooths out and becomes elastic.
Often people looking for ways to remove facial wrinkles think about the consequences of the injection method of rejuvenation.
Experts say that the administration of Botox or Dysport in some cases may be associated with some side effects and mild complications.
Complications often occur due to the cosmetologist’s lack of experience in this field of work. So, if the dose of Botox is too large around the eyes or in other areas of the face, as well as if the injection site is chosen incorrectly, the following may happen:
drooping upper eyelid;
double vision and blurred vision;
It is important to understand that such phenomena occur in a maximum of 1-2% of cases and are absolutely reversible and pass away very quickly.
Side effects of botulinum toxin injection:
pain at the site of needle insertion;
local hemorrhages in the areas of drug administration;
slight numbness of the tissues at the injection site;
In no case should you be afraid of side effects, since they are very rare and disappear almost immediately without a trace. A guarantee of the absence of complications is the correct choice of clinic and medical specialist who will perform the injections.
The optimal doses of Botox or Dysport are selected depending on the injection site:
to remove crow's feet around the eyes - 12-20 units;
for the forehead - 8-20 units;
for lips - 6-16 units;
between the eyebrows - 10-20 units;
for the neck and décolleté - from 24 units;
