Anti-Ageing Muscle-Relaxant Protein Treatment: Botox – Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botox)
Botox Anti-Ageing Treatment
Anti-ageing facial injections with myomodulating proteins relax facial wrinkles by reducing the contraction of the muscles that caused them.
They can be used to help smooth “crow’s feet” around the eyes, forehead lines, the vertical lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), the “barcode”, i.e. the vertical lines above the upper lip, or neck lines.
They work by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles. They are the most frequently performed non-surgical procedures in the world.
They are practically painless. They also slow down the appearance of wrinkles on the face, mainly in the upper part (upper third) of the face.

How Is the Treatment Carried Out?
The procedure is carried out after assessing the contraction of the facial expression muscles and involves a few small superficial injections in the areas to be treated.
Straight after treatment you can immediately resume your daily routine, apart from a few precautions described below.
How Long Does the Effect Last?
Wrinkles will begin to smooth out after about a week and their appearance will improve further over the following two weeks. The aesthetic improvements achieved will remain visible for at least 3/6 months.
After this period the treatment can be repeated to maintain the aesthetic results.
Treatment Duration
20 minutes.
Will BOTOX change my facial expressions?
The protein is injected in small doses directly into the muscles responsible for glabellar, forehead or periorbital wrinkles. It does not prevent facial expressions or the ability to smile.

Why BOTOX?
BOTOX is the only therapeutic agent able to improve facial expression lines by targeting the underlying muscles responsible.
In younger patients:
- The smoothing and expressive effects are immediate
- The treatment makes the face look more relaxed
- If repeated over time, the treatment has a preventive effect on the appearance of wrinkles
In older patients:
- The expressive effects are rapid
- The extent to which wrinkles disappear depends on skin elasticity
- The treatment eliminates the negative effects of muscle contractions on the skin
- If repeated over time, the treatment has a corrective effect on wrinkles
