Questions Anti-Wrinkle Treatment with Botulinum Toxin (Botox)
For whom is the anti-wrinkle treatment with botulinum toxin indicated?
Botulinum toxin is applied to patients with expression lines mainly on the upper third of the face and can also be used to rejuvenate the skin on the neck. However, the most common areas are above all the wrinkles on the forehead, the so-called crow's feet and those between the eyebrows.
Is botox treatment painful?
No, since the only thing that can hurt is the puncture, but since a very fine needle is used, the patient hardly notices it.
What is the duration of the botulinum toxin rejuvenation treatment?
Sessions generally last between 15 or 20 minutes, although it may vary depending on the areas treated.
When will I start to see results and how long will they last?
From the third day, which is when you begin to see that the muscle no longer has as much power to contract and the skin looks more stretched and less wrinkled. The final result will be seen in the retouch after 15 days.
The results usually last around 4 or 5 months, depending on the characteristics of the patient, after which it would be convenient to apply the treatment again.
Can botox be combined with other aesthetic treatments?
Botulinum toxin anti-wrinkle treatment is often combined with other aesthetic treatments such as, for example, facial fillers with hyaluronic acid, pulsed light, laser or peeling.
Will there be scars after botox treatment?
No, since botulinum toxin is usually infiltrated in small amounts and with a very fine needle. It is possible that a small bruise will appear that will disappear on the fifth or sixth day.
