INJECTABLES & DERMAL FILLERS
Facial expressions are the product of the contraction of the muscles of the face. This muscular activity marks the skin, causing wrinkles that, over time, can become deep and permanent. Treatments are adapted to each case help to avoid the "frozen" appearance often feared by patients. By reducing muscle tension, the result is smooth-looking skin, with a rejuvenating effect. There is also a preventive and protective effect against ageing when the treatment is maintained over the long term.
INDICATIONS
Botulinum toxin helps reduce "frown lines", forehead wrinkles, "crow's feet" wrinkles, bitterness folds, perioral wrinkles.
It's also used to treat bruxism (teeth grinding) and hyperhidrosis (sweating) of the armpits, hands and feet.
It acts on the balance of the muscles of the face: botulinum toxin can, for example, be used to raise eyebrows which have fallen over the years but also to relax the muscles of the neck which create the cervical cords. Botulinum toxin works at the union between the nerve, which transmits the electrical impulse, and the muscle which performs the action, like an insulator, causing localized decrease, or even paralysis, of muscle activity. This action reduces wrinkles placed opposite the muscles concerned.
This is a temporary treatment; the treated muscles gradually begin to regain their contracting capacity after a few months (on average 4–6 months)
It can also reduce or correct an asymmetry of the face.
