Botox
A Non-Surgical Solution for a Youthful Look
Botox is a name that has become synonymous with anti-ageing treatments in the cosmetic world. It has been widely used for years to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a more youthful appearance. As a safe and effective treatment, Botox has gained popularity among those seeking non-surgical solutions for signs of ageing.
Understanding Botox
Botox is derived from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When administered in small, controlled amounts, it relaxes the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, effectively smoothing out the skin.
Obstruction leading to dacryocystitis can occur anywhere along the tear-draining route. In newborns, it could be attributed to underdevelopment or blockage of the nasolacrimal duct. Whereas, in adults, inflammation, scarring, sinus or nasal cavity tumors, or infections can contribute to the obstruction. Interestingly, sometimes the nasolacrimal duct closes without any apparent reason – a situation termed as idiopathic.
Symptoms of dacryocystitis include an overflow of tears, commonly known as epiphora, or tears running down the cheek. Patients might also experience mucus discharge, crusting of the eyelids, and in severe cases, painful swelling and redness near the junction of the eyelid and the nose due to lacrimal sac infection. If left untreated, the infection might extend to the eyelids and even to the face.

The Procedure
The Botox treatment is relatively quick and straightforward. Dr. Surbhi Kapadia injects the Botox solution using a fine needle into specific muscles with only minor discomfort. The procedure doesn’t require anesthesia and generally takes about 15 minutes.
Results and Aftercare
Patients can usually notice the effects of Botox within a few days, with full results visible after a week. The rejuvenating effects can last between 3 to 6 months. As the muscle action gradually returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. However, the lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time as the muscles are trained to relax.
It’s essential to choose a qualified and experienced professional like Dr. Surbhi Kapadia for Botox treatments. While side effects are rare, they can include bruising at the injection site, mild headache, or, in rare cases, eyelid drooping.
