Botulinum toxin

Expression lines

It is the most widely performed non-surgical aesthetic treatment in the world, with visible results, no surgery and no recovery time.

How it works

Over the years, repeated contractions of the facial muscles create increasingly marked expression lines on the forehead, between the brows and around the eyes, the so-called crow’s feet.

Botulinum toxin, applied to the muscle responsible for each line, produces its temporary relaxation. The face looks more rested and relaxed, without losing expressiveness.

What to expect

  • The effects begin to be noticeable between 48 and 72 hours.
  • The full result is reached between 7 and 10 days.
  • The total duration of the effect is 4 to 6 months.
  • The average dose, suitable for most cases, is 50 units.

The application takes a few minutes and requires no anaesthesia or recovery time. It is often combined with other facial rejuvenation techniques, such as hyaluronic acid fillers.

Where it is performed

Consultations are available at any of the clinics, by scheduled appointment, and by video call.
