Botulinum toxin

Aesthetic and medical indications

Botulinum toxin is an injectable treatment used for the temporary and controlled reduction of the activity of certain muscles responsible for the formation of expression lines. Through its selective action on the musculature, the treatment contributes to softening dynamic wrinkles and improving their appearance.

Treatment areas

Botulinum toxin can be used for:

• horizontal forehead lines
• the lines between the eyebrows – the glabellar area
• the lines around the eyes ("crow's feet")
• nasal lines ("bunny lines")
• a discreet lift of the eyebrows
• correction of the gummy smile
• perioral lines and the downturn of the corners of the mouth, in selected cases
• the irregular, "orange peel" appearance of the chin, caused by hyperactivity of the mentalis muscle
• definition of the jawline contour and treatment of platysmal bands
• hypertrophy of the masseter muscles, when there is a medical or aesthetic indication

Treatment of hyperhidrosis

Botulinum toxin can also be used for the treatment of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). By temporarily reducing the nerve signals to the sweat glands, the treatment contributes to decreasing the production of sweat in the treated area.

Depending on the indication, the procedure can be performed at the level of the underarms, the palms or the soles.

The procedure

The treatment is personalized according to the anatomy, expressiveness and particularities of each patient. The physician establishes the injection points and the necessary dose individually, according to the assessment and to the objective of the treatment.

The procedure is minimally invasive and is performed through injections at carefully established points, according to the anatomy and the particularities of each patient's musculature.

The effect appears progressively over the following days and is temporary, its duration varying individually.

The objective of the treatment is to obtain a balanced, harmonious result adapted to the physiognomy of each patient, while preserving the natural expressiveness of the face.

Contraindications and precautions

The treatment is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in the presence of an active infection at the level of the injection area or in the case of certain neuromuscular conditions.

Before the procedure, the medical history and the treatments being taken are assessed, in order to identify any contraindications, precautions or drug interactions.

The treatment is performed exclusively after a consultation and medical assessment. The dose and the injection points are established individually by the physician.
