FACIAL AESTHETICS

Botulinum toxin

In 2002, the FDA authorized Botulinum Toxin Type A for aesthetic use in the USA and the Spanish Medicines Agency approved it in 2004. Over the years, new Botulinum Toxin Type A have appeared.

Action of Botulinum Toxin Type A in aesthetic treatments:

With the passage of time, it is inevitable that lines and wrinkles will form because the skin loses its elasticity and suppleness. This is part of the normal aging process and it would be artificial to prevent it from happening indefinitely.

However, we must think about how these wrinkles make others see us. Those between the eyebrows can give us a tired, grumpy appearance or make us look older than we are. But that's not all: wrinkles are usually mentally associated with negative emotions, producing an important psychological impact for the patient, something that we all prefer not to happen to us.

​

Botulinum Toxin Type A is a neurotoxin produced by Clostridium Botulinum, which blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscle and thus prevents it from contracting. They are injected in tiny amounts into overactive facial muscles to relax them and prevent the appearance of dynamic wrinkles or smooth existing ones. As a result, the skin will appear smoother and the face more relaxed, contributing to a younger, more rested appearance.

Application

Botulinum Toxin Type A is applied by injection, the session can last about 20 minutes. During this time, the doctor will ask you to make certain facial expressions to test your facial muscles. He will then use an extremely fine needle to inject the diluted product into the appropriate points.

​

Is the result immediate?
