What are botulinum toxin injections and what are they used for?
Botulinum toxin is a protein derived from Clostridium botulinum, a naturally occurring micro-organism. Used in aesthetic treatments, it smoothes wrinkles and prevents their appearance by temporarily blocking contraction of the muscles responsible for facial expressions. This protein helps reduce the signs of aging while maintaining a harmonious expression.
Botulinum toxin is also used for medical purposes, notably to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) or bruxism (teeth grinding).

Who can benefit from botox injections?
Botulinum toxin injections are designed for men and women who wish to reduce the visible signs of aging, particularly dynamic wrinkles, while maintaining a natural expression. This treatment smoothes the skin, prevents the appearance of new wrinkles and offers a rejuvenating effect without the need for surgery.
This treatment is particularly suitable for :
Wrinkle prevention
From the age of 30, it is possible to slow the appearance of the first fine lines by slightly relaxing the muscles responsible for repeated expressions. A preventive injection helps to preserve the skin’s youthfulness and delay skin ageing.
Wrinkle reduction
People with pronounced wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet) or between the eyebrows (frown lines) can benefit from a smoothing, refreshing effect, while retaining their natural expressiveness.
Alternative to surgery
Suitable for people who want discreet rejuvenation without the need for a scalpel. Botox is immediately effective, without social eviction. It restores a relaxed, radiant face without radical transformation.
Treatment of hyperhidrosis
People suffering from excessive sweating (armpits, hands, feet) can considerably reduce their sweating thanks to botulinum toxin injections, which temporarily block the sweat glands responsible for excessive sweat production.
Bruxism relief
Patients who grind their teeth involuntarily, especially at night, can benefit from jaw muscle relaxation. This relieves pressure on the teeth, reducing muscle pain, headaches and tooth wear.
Thanks to its targeted and precise action, botulinum toxin helps achieve smoother skin, a rested face and a naturally rejuvenated appearance, while improving comfort and quality of life.

Natural, modular effect
Doses are meticulously adjusted to the needs of each patient to achieve a harmonious, subtle result, without freezing facial features and expressions.
Preventive and corrective treatment
Botulinum toxin acts both to prevent and correct wrinkles. It slows the formation of expression lines, while reducing those already present, for smoother, more rested skin.
Fast, minimally invasive procedure
On average, a session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. It’s a simple, virtually painless treatment that requires no anesthesia or special preparation.

The first effects appear between 3 and 7 days after the injection, with optimal results achieved in two weeks.
No social eviction
The procedure requires no recovery time, enabling immediate resumption of daily, professional and social activities.
Adjustable and reversible effect
Results last between 4 and 6 months, with the possibility of renewing the treatment according to needs and expectations, for a gradual, natural maintenance of the face’s youthful appearance.
