Botox® - Wrinkle smoother

• Minimized appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of the forehead, glabella, and crow’s feet
• Brow-lifting sensation

• Increased skin firmness
• Fresher look
• Prevention of future wrinkles

Botulinum Toxin is used for more than forty years in medicine to treat contractions of facial muscles and “ticks". The treatment allows the muscles that create wrinkles to loosen, as the contractions become less intense, thus allowing the wrinkles to disappear.

The protocol is applied to the upper third of the face and in particular the horizontal wrinkles of the forehead, crow’s feet wrinkles around the eyes, and in the glabella - the area between the eyes. The active ingredient is injected intramuscularly with the help of a very thin needle and the procedure is almost painless. In the injection sites you will see slight swelling that will disappears after a few minutes. The muscles need 3-4 days to calm down and to allow the overlying wrinkles to reside. The results can take up to 14 days to see the full effects and are maintained for 4-6 months. The aim of the protocol is not to eliminate all wrinkles, quite the contrary. We wish to minimize fine lines and wrinkles and maintain mild movement to avoid losing all your facial expressions.
