Treatment for expression wrinkles
What is
What is the treatment for expression wrinkles?
It is probably the most popular and, at the same time, the most innocuous treatment in aesthetic medicine, since it manages to rejuvenate, prevent and beautify the face. The substance itself does not remain in the body for more than 24 hours, but the effects will be visible after a short time.
Applied correctly, it causes a relaxation of the musculature, achieving a reduction of dynamic or expression wrinkles and static wrinkles, those that over time become “furrows”.

Information
How it works
Its main application is the upper third of the face. The main indication is wrinkles such as those between the eyebrows, forehead and crow’s feet, so conditioned by muscle mobility.
It is applied by injection into the muscles that produce the contractions in the face. It does not require anesthesia and the effects will be visible within a few days.
Results
It is a fundamental pillar of aesthetic medicine, since it is the only treatment capable of preventing and diminishing expression lines caused by muscular action. In addition, its versatility allows the treatment of pathologies such as facial paralysis, bruxism, axillary hyperhidrosis and gummy smile.

It is usually noticeable after 5-8 days. After 15 days a small touch-up is performed, when the toxin has already fixed in the muscle.
Post-application advice:

No sauna or sports activities on the same day.
Not wearing a motorcycle helmet
