Botulinum Toxin

Botulinum Toxin

● Botulinum toxin is a purified protein used in plastic surgery to temporarily reduce the muscular activity that causes wrinkles and expression lines on the face. Botulinum toxin can also be used for other purposes, such as treating chronic migraines, bruxism, hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating in the armpits or palms.

● Botulinum toxin is injected with a fine syringe and needle into the specific muscles that cause wrinkles or medical issues. The procedure is quick, typically lasting between 10 and 30 minutes, and does not require anesthesia.

● The effects of botulinum toxin begin to be visible within 3 to 5 days after injection, reaching their maximum effect in approximately 2 weeks. The results usually last between 3 and 6 months.

● The results include smoother skin and a rejuvenated appearance, with a significant reduction in wrinkles and expression lines. Botulinum toxin is a safe and effective treatment when administered by a certified plastic surgeon.
