Botulinum toxin
What is it?
In the quest for a more youthful and radiant appearance, botulinum toxin has become one of the most popular treatments in the aesthetic field. This toxin is a substance derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum . When applied in small doses by our highly qualified professionals, it works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contraction. This relaxing effect on facial muscles results in the smoothing of expression lines and unwanted wrinkles.
The areas most commonly treated with botulinum toxin include forehead wrinkles, the lines between the eyebrows (known as "crow's feet"), and wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. These areas of the face are especially susceptible to aging and wrinkle formation due to the repetitive action of muscles over the years. With the precise and careful application of botulinum toxin, we can smooth these signs of aging, resulting in a more youthful and revitalized appearance.
It's important to emphasize that the safety and well-being of our patients are our top priorities. Therefore, before beginning any treatment, we conduct an individualized consultation to understand your needs and expectations. Our highly trained team will assess your health and medical history, and perform a detailed facial examination to ensure that botulinum toxin is appropriate for you.
Our procedures are performed in a safe and comfortable environment, using the most advanced techniques and quality-assured products. During the treatment, you will be under the attentive care of our specialists, who have extensive experience in the precise administration of botulinum toxin to achieve natural and harmonious results, without overdoing it!
After the procedure, you can return to your normal activities with little or no interruption. Initial results of the treatment can be seen within a few days, with maximum results achieved in approximately two weeks.
The soothing effects of botulinum toxin typically last three to six months, depending on individual metabolism. To maintain the results, regular maintenance sessions are recommended, as directed by a dermatologist.
Indication
People with expression lines: Botulinum toxin is effective in reducing wrinkles and expression lines caused by repetitive contraction of facial muscles over time.
Individuals with forehead wrinkles: Wrinkles on the forehead, especially horizontal lines, can be smoothed out with the use of botulinum toxin, providing a more youthful and relaxed appearance.
People with glabellar wrinkles: Also known as "crow's feet," these wrinkles formed between the eyebrows can be treated with botulinum toxin, resulting in a smoother, more relaxed appearance.
People with wrinkles around the eyes and mouth: Wrinkles around the eyes ("crow's feet" wrinkles) and around the mouth (perioral wrinkles) can be minimized with the use of botulinum toxin, providing a rejuvenated appearance.
Individuals who want to prevent facial aging: Some people choose to start botulinum toxin treatment at a younger age as a preventative measure. By relaxing facial muscles, it's possible to prevent the premature formation of wrinkles and expression lines.
People seeking a non-surgical alternative: Botulinum toxin is a popular option for those who want to improve their facial appearance without resorting to surgery. It's a minimally invasive and relatively quick treatment with temporary results.
It's important to emphasize that each person is unique, and the precise indication for botulinum toxin should be assessed individually by a qualified professional. A prior consultation is essential to assess your needs, expectations, medical history, and health conditions before beginning any aesthetic treatment.
When to return?
On average, botulinum toxin in aesthetics lasts three to six months. It's recommended to return for a new application when the effects begin to diminish, usually after three or four months, to maintain the desired results. The exact interval between applications should be discussed with the professional in charge, taking into account your individual needs.
