Botulinum Toxin
Softening wrinkles and expression lines with natural, harmonious results.
Botulinum toxin is one of the most sought-after treatments in aesthetic medicine and one of the most studied worldwide. Applied by a doctor, it relaxes in a controlled way the muscles responsible for expression lines, softening lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes, always with the goal of keeping a natural expression.
Botulinum toxin acts on so-called dynamic wrinkles, the ones that appear with facial movement, such as frowning or smiling. By relaxing the responsible muscles in a controlled way, the treatment softens existing lines and helps prevent them from becoming more marked over time.
At Aestmedic, every application is preceded by a careful assessment. There is no one dose for everyone: the amount and the injection points are defined according to your anatomy and the result you are looking for. This personalisation is the difference between a natural face and a frozen one.
The treatment is safe when performed by a doctor, with certified products and in a suitable clinical setting. The initial conversation is also there to answer all your questions and understand whether this is really the right treatment for you.
How it works
Treatment always starts with an assessment of your expression and the dynamics of your facial muscles. Small amounts of botulinum toxin are then applied at specific points with a very fine needle. The procedure is quick, takes around fifteen to twenty minutes and needs no downtime. You can return to your routine the same day.
