The past and present of botulinum toxin BTULINUM TOXIN (BTX)?
Botulinum toxin is the full name of Botulinum Toxin, a high molecular weight protein neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum. The mechanism of action of Botulinum toxin can prevent the release of neurotransmitter acetylcholine from the axon terminal at the neuromuscular junction, thereby causing muscle flaccid paralysis. The application of Botulinum toxin in the medical field dates back to the 1980s, and it has a good effect in the treatment of congenital cervical tilt deformity, muscle spasm, etc., thus evolving into a wide range of applications in the field of medical cosmetology.
I believe many girls have tried Lanzhou Hengli Botox face slimming in China, but when they came to the UK, they didn’t know whether to continue with Lanzhou Hengli or try some local brands in Europe and the United States. Especially when they came to Europe and the United States, they found that Europeans are born with small V-shaped faces, which makes our faces look even fatter. The skinny British guy actually squeezed into jeans that are thinner than ours. When is the right time to do Botox? The Botox clinics all over Chelsea, London are not “naked” proof! Then we will introduce to you how to recharge Botox in the UK.
Q&A: Is it safe to get Botox for face and leg slimming injections in the UK? [Q&A on face slimming injections in London]
- The essence of botulinum toxin is protein, which is toxic. However, the botulinum toxin used for medical beauty has been diluted to a great extent, and its toxicity content is extremely low.
- In 1992, the production of botulinum toxin for human medical use was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. There are eight types of botulinum toxin, divided into AH. CG is an uncommon type, E and F types can cause human disease, and H type is a fatal type. The botulinum toxins we usually use for medical treatment are A and B types.
- The botulinum toxin brands chosen by Ai Beauty Clinic are Germany’s Bocouture/Xeomin, Britain’s Azzalure and the United States’ Botox, all of which are type A botulinum toxin.
- 156 patients from France, Germany and the UK were treated with Bocouture for upper facial wrinkles. Clinical trial data showed that Bocouture has good safety and effectiveness in treating upper facial lines, and the treatment effect can be maintained for up to 4-6 months, whether combined or separately.
- Medical cosmetic grade botulinum toxin has been proven to be safe and effective in removing facial wrinkles, especially in the lower third of the face. In the lower part of the face, it can relax the muscles and inhibit movement, making the facial lines smooth and creating a soft “oval face”.
Q&A: Can I get Lanzhou Hengli in the UK? [Q&A on face slimming injections in London]
- No. Lanzhou Hengli has not entered the European market. Therefore, in the UK market supervision, we do not provide products that have not been certified by the UK Food and Drug Administration and the European Food and Drug Administration.
- On the contrary, you can get any botulinum toxin that has passed the British and European food and drug regulatory approval, such as German Cima, American Botox, British Azura, etc.
- Out of a responsible attitude towards the results, our doctors will also recommend the most suitable botulinum toxin for you according to your situation. So we welcome you to come to Ai Beauty Clinic for professional consultation.
Q&A: Can Botox only be used on the face? [Q&A on Face Slimming Injections in London]
- In addition to being used for facial wrinkle removal and face slimming, which we often call “face-slimming injections”, botulinum toxin can also be injected into the body to slim the legs.
- The calf area has a large muscle mass, so its effect directly affects the shape of the leg. Botox has a very good effect as a leg slimming injection. Our clinic always has a large number of girls coming in from spring to summer, after all, they have to wear short skirts to show their legs.
Q&A: How long does it take for Botox to take effect? How often do I need to take it? [Q&A on Face Slimming Injections in London]
- Usually changes can be felt within 24-48 hours after injection, the effect becomes gradually apparent after 3 days, and changes are usually visible to the naked eye within no more than two weeks.
- This means that after the injection of Botox, as long as you don’t lean too much forward or backward during the massage, you can do anything. Of course, it’s best to go downstairs from the Ai Beauty Clinic and go shopping on Oxford Street. Since Botox is a protein that acts on muscles, its effect period is also limited, which is both good and bad.
- The obvious effect of Botox lasts for 4-6 months. We usually recommend that you inject it every 3 months or 6 months to maintain it. In other words, you can basically recharge your Botox according to the summer discounts and winter Christmas discounts of big brands twice a year. From this feature, we can also understand that problems such as “masseter muscle hypertrophy” can basically only serve as psychological placebos through smear-type skin care products.
Q&A: How to choose Botox? | [Q&A on Facelift Injection in London]
- Currently, the common botulinum toxin brands include Botox (Allergan) , Bocouture/Xeomin (Merz Pharma Group ), Dysport (Ipsen) , Azzalure (Ipsen) and Lanzhou Hengli (LIBP, BTXN) .
- There are so many botulinum toxin products on the market nowadays, how should we choose? AI BEAUTY can provide you with botulinum toxin products approved by the UK, and we are willing to provide you with the best treatment. Botox from Allergan in the United States is the most well-known industry pioneer, and it is simply too famous; Germany’s Cima was approved by the FDA in 2011. Among the botulinum toxins currently on the market, only Germany’s Cima can be prepared without refrigeration, and it also greatly reduces the loss of drug quality during transportation; the British Azura botulinum toxin has strong diffusion, which is suitable for thin shoulders and thin legs and other large muscles.
Q&A: What preparations are needed before injecting Botox? [Q&A on face slimming injections in London]
Having said so much, what preparations do you need to make when you are ready to start the operation? Of course, you need to prepare the Oyster subway card of AI BEUATY ! Haha, I am kidding of course. Our doctor will clean and disinfect your skin before the operation. You can wear makeup after work or school.
