Botulinum toxin (Botox)

Aesthetic and therapeutic action with a single material

Botulinum toxin - better known as Botox - is one of the most versatile, safe and popular treatments in the field of medical aesthetics. It is used to reduce expression wrinkles, but also for medical indications such as bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding), hyperhidrosis and tension headache or migraine.Aesthetic and therapeutic action with a single material

It is a quick-application treatment, without recovery, with natural and discreet results.

 

How does botulinum toxin work?

Botulinum toxin works by temporarily inhibiting neuromuscular contraction, which is the connection between nerve and muscle. This causes a reduction in muscle activity, resulting in the smoothing of wrinkles and relief from conditions associated with overactive or hypertonic muscles.

 

Aesthetic indications - Where to apply?

Botulinum toxin is the first choice treatment for:

  • Horizontal forehead wrinkles
  • Frown lines (anger lines)
  • Goose leg (around the eyes)
  • Eyebrow lift (Botox lifting)
  • Neck wrinkles - Nefertiti Lift
  • Smoker lines (upper lip)
  • Improvement of jawline definition (jawline definition)

Medical indications

Bruxism (grinding of the teeth)

Intense contraction of the chewing muscles can cause headaches, jaw fatigue and even tooth decay. By applying Botox to the chewing muscles, the intensity of the contraction is reduced and significant relief from symptoms is provided, while the face gains a slimmer and more symmetrical contour.

Chronic Headache & Migraine

Botulinum toxin can help to reduce the frequency and intensity of attacks when headaches are associated with muscle tension or pressure. It is indicated in patients with chronic migraine or tightening tendencies in the frontal and occipital muscles.

 

Advantages

✔ Quick and painless treatment
✔ Natural result without altering the characteristics
✔ Immediate return to everyday life
✔ High safety when applied by a qualified physician
✔ Ideal for both prevention and treatment of wrinkles or muscle hyperfunction

 

When do the results show and how long do they last?

The first results are visible in 3-5 days, with maximum effect in 7-14 days. The duration varies from 3 to 6 months depending on the area, dose and mobility of each individual.

 

Who is a suitable candidate?

The botulinum toxin is addressed to men and women who desire:

  • Smoothing of dynamic wrinkles
  • Prevention of premature ageing
  • Treating medical problems such as bruxism or headache
  • Natural renewal without surgery
