Botox® is a purified protein complex derived from the botulinum toxin, similar to deriving penicillin from mould. Extremely high consistency and quality controls make Botox® the most common, and reputable brand name of “neuromodulators” world-wide. Only a tiny amount injected into specific facial muscles is needed to alleviate facial lines and wrinkling. The neuromodulators in Botox® work by blocking nerve signals from reaching the facial muscles. For 5-10 days post-treatment, there is a continued relaxation of the targeted area, thus allowing your skin to remodel and fade lines over time.
Everyone’s muscle composition, strength, and movement patterns are slightly different. Dr Kennea finds that the best results are seen with individually tailored injection treatments. Each Botox® treatment is customized for your face shape including the positioning and balance of facial features, as well as muscle specificity.
The result? A delicate and subtle improvement in aesthetic appearance.
