For a smooth skin, a fresh look, and more !
You feel great - and yet people dare to tell you that you look tired... Botulinum toxin injections are your best ally in the fight against fatigue! It acts like a muscle relaxant where expression lines start to appear. You'll look rested and positive!
But that's not all: it can also be used to treat excessive sweating (hyperhydrosis).
Benefits
- Smoothes fine lines and wrinkles: Botulinum toxin injections help to prevent and reduce expression lines in the upper part of the face. These include the vertical lines between the eyebrows (frown lines), the fine lines around the eyes (crow's feet), the horizontal lines on the forehead and the "bunny lines" on the higher part of the nose.
- Treatment of hypersudationBotulinum toxin: botulinum toxin injections are used to reduce excessive sweating in the armpits (hyperhidrosis).
During the session
After an in-depth discussion to determine your expectations, the doctor will select the botulinum toxin best suited to your needs. (We use Vistabel, Azzalure, Dysport, Xeomin and Bocouture). The doctor will then mark the precise injection points on your skin using a dermatological pencil. The injections will be carried out with extremely fine micro-needles, making the process barely perceptible and relatively quick.
Results
The botulinum protein begins to take effect between 5 and 7 days after treatment. The final results appear between the 10th and 15th day. At this stage, if a minor touch-up is required, you can book a follow-up appointment.
Efficiency
We guarantee a duration of efficacy of approximately 3 months, which is in line with the results obtained in clinical trials.
If you notice a faster loss of efficiency, please contact us for a follow-up. This will enable us to assess the situation and take any necessary action!
NB: the duration of results may vary from one individual to another and may also vary from one session to another for the same person. Various factors beyond our control may play a role, such as metabolism or physical activity.
