Botulinum Toxin
«We gently relax the facial muscles to soften expression lines. A preventive and corrective treatment that restores freshness to your face without altering your natural gestures.
Freshness and Prevention
A Rested Face, Not a Frozen One
Expression lines are part of life, but sometimes they can make us look tired or angry unintentionally. The application of botulinum toxin is the gold standard for softening the upper third of the face (forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet).
My approach moves away from expressionless faces; I seek to relax the muscles strategically so that your gaze opens up and your skin looks smooth, while maintaining your natural look. Furthermore, we take advantage of its therapeutic properties to solve functional conditions: it is excellent for relieving the tension caused by bruxism, harmonizing a gummy smile, and controlling excessive sweating.
"What is the procedure like?"
We don’t apply the same dose to everyone. I will ask you to make facial expressions (frown, smile, raise your eyebrows) to identify exactly which muscles are strongest and where the product should be applied.
We use ultra-fine needles (almost imperceptible) to deliver small doses of the medication at strategic points. The process takes less than 15 minutes.
It is an in-office procedure (“lunch-time treatment”). You can return to your daily activities immediately after leaving the appointment.
You will not see an immediate change. The effect begins in 3–4 days and reaches its peak at 15 days, at which point we schedule a follow-up to ensure the result is perfect.
Recommendations for your well-being
Before the procedure:
Arrive without makeup on the area to be treated to prevent infections.
Avoid aspirin or anti-inflammatory medications in the days beforehand to reduce the risk of small bruises at the injection sites.
After the procedure:
Do not lie down or bend your head forward during the first 4 hours to prevent the toxin from migrating to other muscles.
Do not massage or rub the treated area for 24 hours.
Avoid intense physical activity, saunas, or extreme heat on the day of the treatment.
The effect lasts between 4 and 6 months, depending on your metabolism and muscle strength.
