Until recently, the FDA authorized its use for cosmetic purposes, although it has been applied for more than seventeen years in other countries such as Brazil. It is the cosmetic procedure that I apply the most to my patients for more than fifteen years.
It is one of the great allies of women against premature aging.

How Botulinum Toxin works?
Toxins act at the level of the muscles of facial expression, completely blocking muscle contraction. This produces a face with a more youthful expression. Xeomen, Botox or Dysport also decrease sweat production, they are used in patients with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). In addition, due to the muscle relaxation they produce, they tend to improve or eliminate migraine episodes.
Procedure
The effect it achieves by raising the eyebrows and reducing forehead wrinkles is similar to a forehead lift.
The areas where I most commonly apply botox are: between the eyebrows, forehead and crow’s feet.
It also improves wrinkles around the lips and reduces the appearance of those annoying muscle bands that some women have in the neck. Its application is quick, simple and painless. The procedure takes only 10 minutes.
Candidates
Age: between 30 and 60 years of age, although there are some who apply it from 18 years of age, in order to make a preventive treatment against the appearance of wrinkles.
