Succesful Surgery

Dynamic wrinkles like frown lines, crow’s feet and worry lines add significant negative emotional attributes to your appearance. We often hear “Even when I am happy and fresh people assume I’m angry/worried/exhausted due to my wrinkles.” These dynamic lines are a result of excessively strong contraction of your muscles of facial expressions and botulinum toxin, commonly referred to as “Botox” is an ideal and natural muscle relaxant for these concerns. 

Brief description of the procedure: 

  • A numbing cream is applied on your face
  • Botulinum tox, which is a watery liquid, is placed using a very fine and small needle into the tense muscle.
  • You will be restricted from lying down flat or engaging in rigorous activities for 8-12 hours after the procedure.
  • You will start seeing the effect in 3-7 days time.
  • If needed, a touch-up session will be done to improve the results after 5-7 days.
  • The results last anywhere between 3.5 to 7 months. The wrinkles are significantly less visible. When your frown lines reduce, you look much more relaxed and pleasant. When your crow's feet and worry lines reduce, you look more youthful and less worn out.

Who can get it done? 

Anyone who has thick hair and wants reduction can get it done. Advisable to start after the age of 16 so that hormones have stabilized and results are more predictable. Grey hairs are not targeted by LHR and are dealt with differently. Thick hairs respond better than fine hairs. Those with hormonal imbalances may require more sessions and simultaneous medical intervention for the management of hormonal issues.

When to avoid?

  • Pregnancy: due to lack of safety guidelines, we avoid LHR during pregnancy. It is perfectly safe during the period of planning, and during breastfeeding.
  • I may ask you to avoid LHR during some active skin conditions or tendencies.
  • The laser cannot be done over a tattoo, some moles or the presence of any foreign pigment (eg. Holi colour); and over 2-3cm surrounding skin.
  • Excessively dry or tanned skin.

FAQs: 

Are there uses other than wrinkles: 

Yes, many:  

  • To correct excessively bulky chewing muscles (the masseter), turning a masculine looking squarish face into a fine and oval feminine face.  
  • To Correct chicken legs (tense muscle bands of the neck). 
  • To reduce sweating by 60-70% over localized areas like under-arms, palms and soles.  
  • For the treatment of multiple medical problems like migraines, squint, vocal cord disorders etc.  

Anytime before the wrinkles start leaving behind persistent ceases. 

This procedure does not alter the proportions of your face or features in anyway, so you need not worry about looking different. The procedure is meant to make you appear more relaxed, pleasant, fresh and youthful without altering your features in any way. The results of a well done treatment are very natural and highly satisfying. 

By itself, the treatment is completely safe and has no side effects in the short or long term. However, it is a highly skilled procedure and hence you must trust only a qualified MD/DNB dermatologist or a MCh plastic surgeon with these procedures.
