What it involves
Botulinum toxin gently relaxes the muscles behind expression lines (frown lines, forehead and crow's feet). The goal is a natural result that rests the gaze and softens the expression without losing character. After a medical assessment we define the exact dose and injection points for your face.
Benefits
- A more rested gaze
- Natural, reversible result
- No downtime
Who is it for?
Botulinum toxin is suited to those who notice expression lines on the frown area, forehead or crow's feet and want to soften them without losing their natural expressiveness. It can also be a good option for those looking to slow the progressive deepening of these lines.
During the prior assessment we evaluate your facial muscle activity, your expressions and what you hope to achieve, to confirm that this is the right technique for you. Not every line has the same indication, and that consultation allows us to offer an honest, personalised proposal.
What the session is like
The session always begins with an assessment during which we map the injection points tailored to your facial anatomy and typical expressions. The technique involves very precise, superficial micro-injections; no anaesthesia is needed, though we can apply cold to improve comfort if you prefer.
Time in the clinic is brief, so you can return to your usual activities straight away. Before you leave we go through the aftercare steps to follow in the first few hours to get the best from your treatment.
Results and how long they last
The first changes are usually noticed gradually over the days following the treatment, and the result settles in progressively. How long it lasts varies from person to person depending on individual factors such as metabolism, muscle tone and the area treated.
To maintain the effect we recommend repeating the treatment when you notice your muscle activity returning; at the follow-up visit we assess together the right time to do so. Frequency is adjusted over time according to how your response evolves.
Aftercare
For the first few hours avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas and do not lie face down. It is also advisable to skip intense exercise and avoid sources of high heat (sauna, direct sun) on the day of treatment.
You can apply make-up as usual from four hours after the session. If you have any questions after your treatment, please don't hesitate to get in touch — we always follow up to make sure you are happy with the result.
