A Relaxed, Radiant, and Youthful Facial Glow (Botulinum Toxin Geneva)
Used in aesthetic medicine for nearly thirty years, botulinum toxin is a natural protein produced by a microorganism. It induces a temporary, reversible, and localized muscle relaxation, reducing or eliminating wrinkles in the treated area.
Specific Areas Treated with Botulinum Toxin
The main areas treated include:
- The forehead and its horizontal wrinkles
- Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
- Crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes)
Within a few days, the treated wrinkles diminish or disappear, giving the face a more relaxed and refreshed appearance.
The effects of botulinum toxin gradually fade within 4 to 6 months, providing a reversible and adaptable result based on the patient’s needs.
Safety and Effectiveness of Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin has been used in medicine for over 60 years and has been a trusted technique in aesthetic treatments since 1975. It specifically targets selected muscles, ensuring that other facial expressions remain unaffected. This results in smoother skin and a rejuvenated look without altering natural expressions.
Where Can Botulinum Toxin Be Used?
Botulinum toxin is primarily used for expression lines, such as:
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
It is also used in other treatments, such as:
- Reducing marionette lines for a softer facial contour
- Smoothing the neck and redefining overall facial features
- Treating excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the underarms
How Does the Treatment Work?
The procedure consists of several small injections using an ultra-fine needle, making it virtually painless. The injection points are carefully determined based on:
- The patient’s concerns
- Facial anatomy and movement analysis
The dosage can be adjusted to achieve a natural and subtle effect, softening wrinkles without freezing facial expressions.
A follow-up consultation is usually scheduled 10 to 15 days after treatment, where any necessary adjustments can be made.
Results typically become visible within 4 to 6 days, revealing smoother skin and a more relaxed, refreshed appearance. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, botulinum toxin does not add volume; it simply relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines.
A Safe and Effective Wrinkle Treatment
With decades of use in aesthetic medicine, botulinum toxin remains one of the most effective, safest, and most widely used treatments for reducing wrinkles and achieving a youthful, refreshed look.
