Botulinum toxin helps prevent and reduce facial wrinkles. Unlike fillers, it adds no volume. It is used in a wide range of medical conditions for its therapeutic action that reduces muscle contraction. In aesthetics, it prevents the formation of wrinkles on the face.
Advantages of Botulinum Toxin
- Prevention and Reduction of Wrinkles: Botulinum toxin is effective in preventing the formation of new wrinkles and reducing the appearance of existing wrinkles, especially those caused by repetitive facial expressions such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
- Therapeutic Action: In addition to its aesthetic benefits, botulinum toxin is used in a wide range of medical conditions for its therapeutic action that reduces muscle contraction, thereby relieving symptoms of various conditions such as muscle spasms, blepharospasm, and even chronic migraines.
Procedure
A consultation is necessary before starting treatment to better understand your aesthetic desires and goals. During this consultation, detailed explanations will be provided about the doses required for each area to be treated. If you wish to have the treatment done on the same day as the consultation, please allow for additional time of about 20 minutes. Injections are performed using a small needle and are generally minimally painful. The procedure is quick and requires no downtime. The injections are administered by Dr. Geneviève Gaudreau or by her injecting nurse, Judy Kelly, according to your preference.
