Botox Treatments in the Philippines

Botox is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to temporarily reduce or eliminate facial wrinkles and fine lines. It works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, causing them to relax. This relaxation smooths out the overlying skin, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Botox is a purified protein and a safe and effective treatment when administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional. At Alonzo Cosmetic Surgery, our skilled doctors, Dr. Benz and Dr. Benjamin Alonzo is dedicated to providing natural-looking results tailored to your individual needs.

Understanding the Risks and Ensuring Your Safety with Botox

Your safety and well-being is our priority. While Botox is a generally safe and well-tolerated procedure, it's important to be aware of potential risks and side effects. Our experienced doctors take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure a comfortable and safe treatment experience.

Potential Risks and Side Effects:

• Temporary Bruising or Swelling: This is common at the injection sites and usually resolves within a few days.
• Redness or Mild Irritation: Some patients may experience temporary redness or mild irritation around the injection areas.
• Headache: A mild headache can occur in some individuals after treatment.
• Droopy Eyelid or Eyebrow: This is a rare and usually temporary side effect that can occur if the Botox migrates slightly. Our precise injection techniques minimize this risk.
• Dry Eye or Excessive Tearing: These are uncommon and typically temporary.
• Muscle Weakness: Temporary weakness in nearby muscles is rare and usually mild.
• Allergic Reactions: Although very rare, allergic reactions are possible. It's important to inform us of any known allergies during your consultation.

How We Ensure Your Safety:

• Thorough Consultation: We conduct a comprehensive medical history review and facial assessment to determine your suitability for Botox.
• Experienced Practitioners: Our injections are performed by highly trained and experienced medical professionals with a deep understanding of facial anatomy and injection techniques.
• Strict Hygiene Protocols: We adhere to the highest standards of hygiene and sterilization in our clinic in Mandaluyong.
• Genuine Products: We only use authentic and approved Botox products.
• Detailed Aftercare Instructions: We provide you with clear aftercare guidelines to minimize potential risks and ensure optimal healing.
• Open Communication: We encourage you to ask any questions or express any concerns you may have before, during, or after your treatment.

Important Note: Botox is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain neuromuscular conditions, or those with active skin infections at the injection sites. Please inform us of your complete medical history during your consultation to ensure your safety.  

The Botox Procedure at Alonzo Cosmetic Surgery

4. Injection: Small amounts of Botox will be precisely injected into the targeted facial muscles using a fine needle. This process is typically quick and relatively painless.

Results and Aftercare

You can typically start to see the effects of Botox within a few days, with the full results becoming visible within 1-2 weeks. The effects of Botox usually last for 3-4 months, after which the muscle action gradually returns, and wrinkles may reappear. To maintain your refreshed appearance, regular follow-up treatments are recommended.
