Here are procedure and benefits of Oxygen Face Therapy

Hello, viewers, I am Dr Chiranjiv Chhabra from skin and life clinics. Today, we talk about botox. The very famous Botox or botulinum toxin.

What is Botox?

Botox is nothing but a simple protein. It started many many years back as a medicine which was used for migraines. And per chance, it was discovered that the same medicine was easing out lines and wrinkles and making all the patients look younger. So, Botox cosmetic was born. Botil tox is used to wipe away lines and wrinkles from the face. It is a beautiful procedure. Why? Because it is short. It is effective. The results are developing in times. It is long lasting because for 4-6 times you will not see lines or wrinkles and you may not remember your age.

When it goes away it doesn’t go away completely?

It goes away very slowly so you can chop up your medicine dice at that point of time.

Is it addictive?

No it is not. You may just want to do it once say just before a special occasion and may not want to do it again. But I am sure you want to do it again because when we look younger, we feel better, we work better.

Where all can Botox be used?

Botox is a beautiful anti-ageing tool that can remove wrinkles at the forehead that is the frown lines. Those are the wrinkles around the eyes when we smile. It can be used to sculpt the jawline that makes the lower face more lifted and oval. To correct the gummy smile, that is when some people smile their lips open up to wide and their teeth show. It can be used to correct this. The folds on the neck which comes with ageing, called the neck folds are beautifully treated by botox. Botox is also used very effectively for sweaty underarms which is a very common problem in a warm/ hot country like ours.

Why do people like Botox?

Botox is safe. Yes. It is effective. The result kicks in a time. And it lasts long i.e. 4-6 months. It is an easy procedure. Within 15 minutes, you can take your botox shots and go back to work again. So nobody has to know that you have done something and you can natural, younger looking face. You can compete in your workplace and you can look beautiful at night with your friends socially and you can be happy with yourself.

So this is what botox is all about. In case you have further queries you can contact us at Lybrate.

Thank You.
 

Hello I am Dr. Chiranjiv Chabra. I am dermatologist and I am the director and chief dermatologist at skin alive clinics. Today we look into the Anti-aging treatments that are available to make us look more vibrant, youthful and younger. Before getting into the treatments , we should understand how aging is happening and why it is happening? Aging happens due to external factors , that is the environmental factors and our lifestyle as well as internal factors that is the natural aging process. None of us can escape the aging process.

Let us look into the solutions how we can solve these issues. When we age, aging is happening at the level of our bowl and then at the level of the soft tissue which is over the bowl and then at the level of the skin. So all layers of the skin as well as the underline tissue has to be taken care of in these treatments.

There are various treatments that can be used for anti-aging or aging solutions. The effective ones are laser rejuvenation, where in a beam of light is made to shine on the skin and this light stimulates our collagen, tightens and lifts the skin, makes the skin smoother, and of a better quality. We can get results even in as less as four to five sessions, which can be done at a gap of one week each. This is called laser rejuvenation or laser toning.

Then we have advance treatments like Firm Fractional laser which is a treatment to tighten and lift the skin. Besides doing this it also removes blemishes, dyschromias, patchy skin, tanning, and so the skin looks fresher, even in color, and younger. Just a few sessions can make us look at least 5-6 years younger.

Then there are array of medical facials available like diamond polishing or microdermabrasion, vitamin C electroporation lightening therapies, oxygen therapies for the face. These treatments are mild and gentle on the skin and they remove tiredness and bring around freshness to the face. Some of the latest treatments or solutions for anti-aging are thermage, Al-therapy, Botox fillers, and vampire facelift. Let us look into all of these one by one.

• Thermage is a single session treatment, non-invasive, relatively painless, to tighten and lift a skin. It does so by stimulating the collagen and the proteins in the skin and helps in tightening of the jaw-line, cheeks, eyelids, skin, and neck - in fact any part of the body. This treatment is very popular and we have been doing it for the past 15 years now.
• Al-therapy is another technology to lift and tighten the skin. Here the sound waves touch the skin very gently and tighten and lift. Especially used for the area of the jaw-line, eyebrow lift, cheek lift, as well as it can lift any part of the body like sagging arms, stomach or breasts.
• Besides this , there is a very interesting treatment called Vampire facelift. This is a trademark treatment wherein we take the blood of the patient that is the individual, and we put it into a special process . By this we separate your own growth factors which are re-applied onto the skin.

Now these growth factors when re-applied on the skin , they work as anti-aging factors and they tighten and lift the skin and also improve the skin quality and glow and hydration. Now combined with these treatments which I have just discussed, there are two latest therapies called Botox and Fillers. Botox is nothing but a simple protein, this protein was once upon a time and still is used .

Ok we stop here again - Botox - so if looking younger is in your mind you can choose any of the above treatments.
