Botulinum toxin temporarily relaxes the muscles that form expression lines: forehead, frown lines and crow's feet. Applied with a surgeon's judgment, it softens without taking away expression.
It does not fill or "lift": it works on the muscle. That is why it works on dynamic wrinkles, the ones that appear when you make expressions. For lines already etched at rest, it is combined with fillers or skin treatments.
It is also used for teeth grinding (bruxism), gummy smile, neck bands and excessive sweating. The dose is calculated per muscle and per person; the goal is for you to look rested, not different.
Is it for me?
Forehead, frown or eye-area lines that make you look tired or upset.
Prevention in younger skin with very strong expression habits.
Bruxism or gummy smile.
What you should know
How it's done, how to care for it and what to expect.
General information so you arrive at your consultation with the right questions. Your plan is defined at your consultation.
Technique
Mapping of the expression muscles in motion before marking the injection points.
Micro-injections with an ultra-fine needle; 3 to 7 points per area.
Product with health-authority registration; dilution and doses recorded in your chart so we can repeat what worked.
Aftercare
Do not lie down or bend your head forward for 4 hours.
No massaging the area, no intense exercise or alcohol that day.
No facials or heat (sauna, steam) for 48 hours.
Results and how long they last
Visible between day 3 and day 14. Lasts 4 to 6 months; with regular treatments the muscle is retrained and lines soften over the long term.
Risks and how we reduce them
Small bruises, a mild headache on the first day and, very rarely, a temporary drooping of the brow or eyelid that resolves within weeks. Everything is temporary because the product is metabolized.
