The most effective and famous method for reducing facial wrinkles nowadays is definitely the application of botulinum toxin.
Botulinum toxin is a complex of proteins, which can stop the function of neurotransmitters for a period. When we say neurotransmitters, we mean chemical compounds that exist in our body and their utility is the transmission of information from one neuron to another. So, when someone administers this protein at the site, it essentially stops the movement of those specific muscles. It immobilizes and calms the area.
Most types of wrinkles are caused by the movement of certain muscles. These are the known wrinkles that appear when we make facial expressions, smile, or show our emotions with our face when we are young. As we age, these wrinkles become more pronounced.
The elimination of wrinkles with the injection of botulinum toxin is done with the help of a very fine syringe. To have a perfect result, a study of the anatomy of the area by the specialist doctor is required before the application. Here at CityzenClub Niki Fotopoulou MED, injections are performed by the doctor, after a very detailed study of the face and its needs.
The treatment with this specific protein has been tested for many years, by various medical fields and is absolutely safe. It is an approved and widely used treatment. It is painless and one can return to their activities immediately after the application. Some advice or instructions for the first days will be clearly given by the doctor.
The aesthetic results of this treatment reach their best point within 10 days. Then one could say the skin looks much younger and free from the signs of time.
These results last up to 6 months in some cases and more.
This treatment is ideal for areas that develop expression wrinkles such as:
- The area between the eyebrows (glabella)
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles
- Wrinkles around the eyes (crow's feet)
Treatment with botulinum toxin starts early and preventatively. That is, before some expression wrinkles acquire a permanent nature, at regular intervals we immobilize the movement of the corresponding muscles and thus calm the area preventatively.
Most people are concerned that the result might not look natural. Here, the correct guidance of the specialist doctor plays a major role, according to the needs of each person.
