This product has been used for neurologic and ophtalmologic treatment for more than 10 years after it began to be used with aesthetic purposes in the 90´decade.

Aesthetic application
Botulinum toxin treatment is done over dynamic wrinkles (those caused by facial muscles contraction) by relaxing facial musculature. There're three types of wrinkles, those caused by sun exposure, those dynamics produced when we gesture or express emotions. Main indications for botulinum toxin are for treatment of frontal wrinkles, crows feet and frown lines.

The treatment
Is a non surgical treatment, quick and safe. It doesn't require allergy tests. It consists on microinjections in the target areas and it takes no more than 15 minutes. An anesthetic cream can be used prior to application of the toxin. There're no adverse effects generally. Some redness in the injection site can be seen for a couple of hours and very little hematomas. In some cases due to a major response to the drug a transient weakness of the eyelid or a brow drop can be seen, effects that disappear in a few days.

All the effects are reversibles.
Results depend on each patient but in general terms after 48-72 hs of injections, effects can be seen being completed after 7-10days.
The effect of the treatment last for 5 to 6 months depending on individual factors. After many treatments the effects use to last longer.
Some patients are afraid of the use of a toxin in their bodies, but thanks to the careful process of elaboration there's no risk for humans.
This is an excellent option for women seeking for a preventive therapy for the ageing process.
It's very important to realize a consultation with the surgeon to determine the results and to evaluate the units require for each case.
