Botulinum toxin - Botox
Botulinum toxin (botox) is used to treat dynamic wrinkles, for a more youthful appearance and a relaxed and rested face, while preserving facial expressions. You will appear more radiant.
Indications
- Crow’s feet, lion wrinkles, wrinkles on the forehead or nose.
- Brow lift
- Signs of ageing
Before the intervention
The surgeon checks there aren’t any contraindications concerning the products used (pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergic reactions, etc.).
If you are taking aspirin or anti-inflammatories, please stop taking this treatment at least 15 days before surgery.
During the intervention
Duration: 15 – 30 mins
The injections are done using very fine needles and are practically painless. Minor swelling (oedema) may appear but it is only temporary.
Results
The effects are visible after 5 – 10 days and remain for 5 – 6 months. Regular injections every 6 months maintain the treatment. Botox can be combined with hyaluronic acid for a more long-lasting and more natural result. Patients are advised to exercise the forehead muscles after the intervention to optimise the result.
