“Botox is the fastest and most effective method for the treatment of expression wrinkles.”.
WHAT IS BOTOX?
Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) is nothing more than a local and temporary muscle relaxant. It exerts its mechanism of action by blocking the nerve impulses, decreasing the contraction of the muscle and smoothing the cutaneous surface.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR BOTOX TREATMENT?
Before the application of this technique, Dr. Cabrera will evaluate your case and inform you about what changes in your facial aesthetics are susceptible to improvement through botox or other cosmetic treatment and which will require surgery. In general, the treatment with Botox would be indicated in patients with wrinkles caused or aggravated by the expression of the facial muscles.
HOW IS THE BOTOX APPLICATION PERFORMED?
Its application is done in consultation, after assessment of the area to be treated, by means of microinjections with a very fine needle, which makes the procedure practically painless
WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT AFTER THE TREATMENT?
The results of this treatment are appreciated 48-72 hours after its application and its action lasts around 4 to 6 months. With this treatment we can make disappear the frontal wrinkles and between the eyebrows as well as the periorbitals ("crow's feet"), giving a more relaxed, serene and youthful appearance to the face.
Considerations
of Dra. Leonor Escribano
Botulinum toxin is the treatment of choice for dynamic facial wrinkles. The ideal time to perform the treatment is when even static wrinkles are not very marked so that we reeducate the facial muscles softening the expression and get to avoid the final formation of wrinkles. It is one of the most performed procedures in the world and it clearly gives excellent results provided that it is done by expert hands and with adequate doses. The greatest feared effect of botulinum toxin by patients is the absence of facial expression, however this does not have to happen as long as the treatment is carried out properly and natural results are sought away from the artificial.
