About Partoid Gland Tox

Overview

Neurotoxin injections into the parotid gland can reduce the activity of salivary glands, decreasing saliva production. This treatment is used for medical and cosmetic purposes, particularly to address a ‘square face’ caused by gland enlargement.

Advantages

Botox is commonly used in Asia for parotid slimming, showcasing its effectiveness in reducing gland size and improving facial aesthetics. It provides a non-surgical solution for those seeking to refine their facial shape. For medical purposes neurotoxin can reduce the activity of the salivary glands and decrease the amount of saliva produced.

What to Expect

Botulinum toxin type A is administered through injection by a physician utilizing ultrasound guidance. A small needle is inserted directly into the gland to deliver a precise amount of the toxin. This procedure typically lasts approximately 30 minutes. The utilization of Botox or other neurotoxins in this manner showcases its flexibility in addressing a range of concerns. Optimal results are typically observed within two to three weeks post-treatment, with the effects lasting for a duration of three to six months.

Recovery

Patients should follow the aftercare instructions provided by their practitioner to ensure the best results. This may include avoiding strenuous activities and adhering to any specific guidelines given post-treatment.
