Botox
Botox treatment allows:
Immediate revitalization and rejuvenation of the gaze. Relax the face muscles, eliminating or attenuating wrinkles and leaving the skin relaxed, tonified and smooth, giving the face back its glow.
It is a purified protein that is injected in miniscule amounts into the face muscles that are too active in order to relax them and prevent the appearance of dynamic wrinkles or to soften those already existing (static). When it comes to carrying out facial treatments, our doctors always strive to achieve harmony and a natural-looking result.
What is botox? Is there any risk?
- Botulinum toxin is a purified protein capable of causing muscle paralysis.
- It is used as a medicinal product in the treatment of certain neurological conditions (tics, migraines) and in the cosmetic treatment of facial wrinkles.
- In view of its efficacy and the lack of risks, the application of Botox is a cosmetic medicine technique that has been gaining ground over surgical techniques such as facelifts.
- It is not dangerous providing that it is applied by a specialist doctor at an authorized medical centre.
How long does the treatment last? And is its effect immediate?
- It is administered in 10 minutes and you can go back home or return to work without a mark.
- It is immediately noticeable, although the maximum result appears three days after the treatment, and it lasts for 6 months.
Will it affect by natural expression?
- At Clínica Londres we strive to achieve natural results.
- At the first medical consultation, a personalized assessment is made and each face and its expressiveness is examined to be able to carry out the treatment and provide the rejuvenating effect without altering its natural expression.
When the effect wears off, are the wrinkles more noticeable than before the treatment?
- No, once the effect of the botox disappears, the muscle recovers its normal activity, once more causing the wrinkle to appear, but never more markedly than before; what is more, during the time that the botox is having an effect, the wrinkle will not be getting stronger so this treatment is always going to be time won against facial ageing.
Can I have it applied at any time of the year?
- Yes, as it is not a photosensitive treatment.
