“Botox”, or botulinum toxin is used to treat wrinkles with facial expression and those formed by muscle contractions on:
- The forehead

“Botox” injection technique:
This is injected into the muscles which causes wrinkles. Botox has a “relaxing” effect on the muscles, thus reducing and in some cases erasing the wrinkles. The effects are comparable to a mild facelift.
Results of “Botox” injections:
Several days after the botulinium toxin injection, the wrinkles will reduce and start to disappear. The maximum effect is evident after 15 days.
Duration of “Botox” treatment:
Botox has an effect lasting between 3 to 6 months, depending on the person.
We recommend three sessions the first year and then a session every 6 months.
