BOTOX® Cosmetic
Injectable
The history of botulinum toxin in the field of aesthetics begins accidentally in 1987 at the hands of Dr. Jean Carruthers, treating a patient affected by blepharospasm. A diluted form of botulinum toxin type A, is considered today to be one of the treatments that offers better results to eliminate wrinkles or treatment of rhytidosis.
With this effect it is intended that wrinkles disappear and therefore provide a more youthful appearance on the skin. It has a temporary duration, between three to six months, after which the dose must be renewed. Rarely there have been cases of side effects such as allergic reactions, facial stiffness or nausea.
This form of botulinum toxin, after its infiltration with an extra fine needle into the muscle under the skin of the area to be treated, acts by inhibiting muscle movement by relaxation.
It is a painless treatment that has the advantages of not needing a recovery time or care and unlike other skin rejuvenation treatments, there are no problems in exposing the skin to the sun.
