Botulinum Toxin (Botox)

Aesthetic and Therapeutic Benefits with a Single Treatment

Botulinum toxin, widely known as Botox, is one of the most versatile, safe, and popular treatments in aesthetic medicine. It is used to smooth expression lines (dynamic wrinkles) and treat medical conditions such as bruxism (teeth clenching and grinding), hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and tension headaches or migraines.

This is a quick, non-invasive treatment with natural and subtle results and no downtime.

 

How Does Botulinum Toxin Work?

Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the connection between nerve and muscle (neuromuscular junction), reducing muscle activity. This results in smoothing of wrinkles and relief from conditions associated with overactive or hypertonic muscles.

 

Aesthetic Indications – Where Is Botox Applied?

Botox is the first-choice treatment for:

  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Glabellar lines (frown lines)
  • Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
  • Eyebrow lift (Botox lifting)
  • Neck wrinkles – Nefertiti Lift
  • Smoker’s lines (upper lip)
  • Jawline contouring (jawline definition)

Medical Indications

Bruxism (teeth grinding)

Strong contraction of the masseter muscle can cause headaches, jaw fatigue, and tooth wear. Botox injections relax these muscles, providing symptom relief while also slimming the lower face for a more symmetrical contour.

Chronic Headaches & Migraines

Botulinum toxin can help reduce the frequency and severity of attacks when headaches are linked to muscle tension or pressure. It is suitable for patients with chronic migraines or tension-type headaches involving the forehead or occipital muscles.

 

Benefits

✔ Quick, virtually painless procedure
✔ Natural results without altering facial expressions

✔ Immediate return to daily activities

✔ High safety profile when performed by a trained physician

✔ Effective for both wrinkle prevention and muscle overactivity

 

Results and Duration

Results become noticeable within 3–5 days, with full effect in 7–14 days. Results typically last 3–6 months, depending on the area, dosage, and individual muscle activity.

 

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Botulinum toxin is ideal for men and women who want to:

  • Smooth dynamic wrinkles
  • Prevent premature aging
  • Address medical issues such as bruxism or headaches
  • Achieve natural rejuvenation without surgery
