Reducing the visibility of wrinkles and preventing their appearance

 

Botulinum toxin is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for reducing the visibility of wrinkles and preventing their appearance. By temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkle formation, this effective aesthetic treatment helps achieve a younger, revitalized, and natural look without invasive interventions. Ideal for expression lines in the forehead, corners of the eyes, or between the eyebrows, botulinum toxin adds a touch of freshness and youthfulness to your face.

Botulinum toxin is a quick and effective solution to achieve a younger, wrinkle-free complexion. With visible results and minimal recovery time, this treatment will help you maintain a fresh and radiant appearance without the need for surgery.

otulinum toxin blocks the nerve signals to the facial muscles, preventing their contractions and reducing dynamic wrinkles (those caused by the movement of facial muscles). This treatment does not affect the skin’s sensitivity or the normal functions of the muscles, but only the treated areas, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Botulinum toxin is ideal for treating expression lines, such as:

  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes)
  • Frown lines (glabellar wrinkles)
  • Wrinkles around the mouth (these can be treated to prevent “smoker’s lines”) These wrinkles are formed due to repeated movements of facial muscles, and botulinum toxin helps to relax them.

Before the treatment, it is recommended to avoid consuming alcohol or blood-thinning medications such as aspirin to reduce the risk of bruising. It is also important to inform the specialist about any medical conditions or allergies you may have.

The results are visible within 3-5 days after the procedure and can last between 3 and 6 months, depending on individual metabolism and the treated areas. After this period, maintenance treatment is needed to sustain the results.

The botulinum toxin treatment is relatively painless. Most patients only feel a slight pinching sensation at the treatment area, and the discomfort is usually minimal. Local anesthesia is not required, but an anesthetic cream can be applied to reduce any discomfort.

Botulinum toxin is usually a safe treatment, but temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or small bruises at the injection site may occur. In very rare cases, more severe effects, such as ptosis (drooping eyelid), can happen. It is essential to follow the specialist’s instructions and ensure that the treatment is performed by an experienced professional.

he results become visible a few days after the treatment, and the skin will appear smoother and more youthful. The effects may be fully noticeable within about a week.

A botulinum toxin treatment session generally lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
