Absolutely every specialist in aesthetic medicine, one way or another, is familiar with the Botox preparation. Among the many different non-surgical rejuvenation methods, botulinum toxin injections are the most effective way to eliminate wrinkles. However, not only this quality can boast of the popular drug "Botox".
September 22 in Kyiv, the company «Allergan» organized a grand conference dedicated to new areas of application of Botox. Exclusively for readers of estet-portal.com director of LLC "Allergan Ukraine" Alexander Uskov spoke in detail about this event, as well as about the main news regarding the use of the Botox drug.
“Allergan” organized an event, the main theme of which is the drug «Botox» and areas of its application. In your opinion, how significant are such events for the development of the level of aesthetic medicine in Ukraine?
AU We live in a world of big investments and Allergan is probably one of the flagships in this market segment. We are ready to invest in training activities, and this is the number one expense item in our budget. Today's event seems quite interesting to me, because we invited a very famous surgeon from France, and this is our own investment so that doctors who practice aesthetic medicine learn something new, including about Botox ;.
Why Botox was chosen as the main topic of today's conference
A.U. Botox preparation was chosen for a reason: this year we have a small anniversary.
Brand "Botox" appeared in 1991, therefore, this year we celebrate its 25th anniversary, and several new indications for the use of this product have been registered in Ukraine.
Specifically, these are chronic migraines, urological problems such as overactive and idiopathic bladders, and crow's feet. We wanted to share these innovations with our doctors.
What are the main advantages of Botox? before other drugs based on botulinum toxin?
А.У. Of course, the choice of the drug – this is the doctor's job. I think it's not entirely ethical to tell the general public why one drug is better than another – it is determined by the doctor. Of course, we have an evidence base that shows why the drug "Botox" more interesting for aesthetic physicians than other botulinum toxin products.
First of all, "Botox" – it is the most researched product, no other botulinum toxin product has so many scientific studies.
Secondly, Botox, with obvious effectiveness, is the safest product, and there is evidence of this. Probably, this is such a triple component of the success of the Botox drug. on the Ukrainian market and all over the world.
«Botox», with obvious effectiveness, the most studied and safest product
You open the conference with «Allergan– an innovator in aesthetic medicine. About what innovations in relation to "Botox" will we talk today?
A.U. As I said earlier, these are new indications for the use of the Botox drug. For the first time at the conference, where 95% of the participants – these are doctors involved in aesthetic medicine, we invited the Deputy Director for Research at the Institute of Neurosurgery named after Academician A.P. Romodanov, who will talk about headaches, and, in particular, about chronic migraine.
I think this is an extremely interesting topic for a wide range of doctors, because migraine, as you know, is the scourge of our time. We also invited a candidate of medical sciences, an employee of the Institute of Urology, who will talk about the indications for the use of Botox. in the urological field - overactive and idiopathic bladder. And the invited doctor Herve Raspaldo will focus on the aesthetic part, in particular, on the use of not only the Botox drug; but also fillers based on hyaluronic acid from the company «Allergan» for correction of the periorbital zone.
Are there any plans to hold similar events in the future?
This event is, in fact, a regular one: in the hotel «Fairmont grand hotel Kiev» we are the fourth time. Herve Raspaldo came to us in February, and two years later he returned again with new indications for Botox. Therefore, naturally, we plan to make such events regular, but they are already held on an annual basis.
