Facial Botox Treatments
Facial botulinum toxin treatments aim to address lines caused by facial expressions, such as forehead lines, frown lines and lines around the eyes.
What Are Facial Botox Treatments?
Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces activity in the injected muscle to soften lines that become more visible with expression. The forehead, area between the eyebrows and outer eye area are the most commonly treated regions.
Injection points and doses are determined according to muscle anatomy, habitual expressions and overall facial balance. The aim is to preserve a balanced, natural expression without eliminating facial movement completely.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
- Facial expression analysis. Muscle movements and the distribution of lines are assessed during facial movement.
- Planning. Injection points and doses are determined individually.
- Treatment. The product is injected at the planned points using fine needles; the procedure is brief.
- Review. Balance is assessed once the effect has settled; a touch-up is planned if needed.
Who May Be Considered for Treatment?
- People concerned about forehead and frown lines
- People who notice lines around the eyes
- People who wish to soften lines that become more visible with expression
- People who wish to preserve their natural expression
Treatment is not performed during pregnancy, breastfeeding or in certain neuromuscular diseases; suitability is assessed alongside the medical history.
After Treatment
Temporary redness may occur at the injection sites and usually subsides quickly. Advice for the first few hours includes avoiding massage of the area and bending forward; the effect develops over several days.
