Miracle of Aesthetic Medicine

MD. Patrik Paulis applying botox

The world is divided into two camps, Botox opponents screaming that it is a poison which is harmful to health. Supporters of the beauty see it as a magic medicine helping to rejuvenate and smooth their wrinkles. But what says Prague‘s bestknown
plastic surgeon, Dr. Patrik Paulis about it? „Botox is one of the safest medicines around
today. With minimal pain and rapid convalescence we get a very good result for a relatively long period with minimal side effects.“

Doctor, was Botox always used for smoothing wrinkles?
No, for these aesthetic purposes it’s been used for about 10 years! Earlier, in the 70s‘ it was used for example in neurology for treatments of diseases that cause spasmsor permanent contraction of certain muscles (e.g. Corticolis), so the primary purpose was CLEARLY therapeutic. In time, for its effects it began to be used for aesthetic purposes.

„Miraculous“ injection - BOTOX
This method is ideal for removal of facial wrinkles known as mimic (surface) wrinkles, located on the forehead, deep wrinkles between the eyebrows and wrinkles around the eye corners. Using a very thin syringe, botulinum toxin is injected into facial muscles, wrinkles and so muscles are relaxed and wrinkles subsequently reduced and the skin stretched. The procedure prevents further shrinking of the skin and thus prevents the deepening of wrinkles and also their creation. Nowadays it is common to apply it also to the area of neck and décolletage. In this case, the application of Botox should be entrusted only to doctors. Application is ambulatory, painless and time-saving, so you can undergo it at any time.

How long does BTX work?
It‘s very individual, but the effects of Botox for wrinkle removal last about 6 months. But it can be applied repeatedly, and safely. When you have the proper professional care, it is the safest form how to have a more youthful and fresh look, without having to use a scalpel. Removing increased perspiration (hyperhidrosis) with Botox The today’s trend is the application of Botox in the armpit, preventing perspiration for some time. People suffering from increased perspiration have the opportunity to come and have Botox applied to the armpit which stops the perspiration for a limited period of time. Several doses of botulinum toxin are injected directly into sweat glands with a small syringe which causes the reduction of the gland’s production. People welcome this possibility especially in the summer period. It doesn’t have a permanent effect and the application of BTX doesn’t reduce perspiration over the body in any way. It takes effect only where it is applied (typically armpits, hands and feet), but the effect persists in the treated area for 8-12 months.

Do we have another opportunity of rejuvenation?
Of course, we decide for botulinum toxin when wrinkles start to become permanent, but at the stage when they are not too deep yet. Otherwise Botox is not enough and we move to filling with hyaluronic acid (a component of previously used collagen) or the method of lipofilling which uses your own fat as the filler. And then of course the various modern methods of face lifting, but that’s for the next time. No matter how old men or women are, what is important is the skin quality and depending on that we choose the right procedure fighting against wrinkles. All interventions must be gentle, natural for its surroundings. So, using these methods, the client does not lose their facial expression!
