Softening expression lines

During the consultation, the doctor can evaluate dynamic wrinkles and muscle activity in areas such as:

• horizontal wrinkles on the forehead;
• vertical lines between the eyebrows;
• wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes;
• wrinkles on the nose, in certain cases;
• certain areas of the neck, if medically indicated.

Not all areas are suitable for all people. The treatment plan is established individually, depending on the anatomy, facial features, symmetry and the goals discussed with the doctor.

The treatment is not suitable for everyone. Before the procedure, the doctor should be informed about your medical history, allergies, current treatments, previous procedures and any relevant conditions.

The procedure may be contraindicated or postponed in situations such as:

• known allergy to the substance used or its excipients;
• active infection, inflammation, or lesions in the area to be treated;
• pregnancy or breastfeeding;
• certain neuromuscular disorders;
• treatment with medications that may interact with the procedure;
• other medical situations evaluated by the doctor in consultation.

The final indication is determined only after individual medical evaluation.

The procedure is performed through fine injections in areas determined by the doctor, after evaluating facial expressions and anatomy. In some cases, an anesthetic cream may be applied or local cooling may be used to reduce discomfort.

The number of injection sites, the amount used, and the areas treated will vary from person to person. Treatment should only be performed by qualified medical personnel, under appropriate safety conditions.

After the procedure, redness, tenderness, minor bruising, local pain, or slight swelling may occur. These reactions are usually temporary, but the course varies from patient to patient.

After the procedure, the doctor will provide specific recommendations depending on the areas treated and the patient's particularities. In general, it may be recommended to avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area on the day of the procedure.

The doctor may also recommend avoiding lying down, prolonged bending, intense physical exertion, saunas, solariums, or exposure to high temperatures for an individually determined period.

Following post-procedure recommendations can reduce the risk of unwanted effects. Any unusual symptoms, significant asymmetry, unusual muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, vision problems, or severe reaction should be reported to the doctor immediately.

The effect does not appear immediately. Usually, the first changes can be gradually observed within a few days, and the stabilization of the effect may take up to about two weeks, depending on the individual response.

The duration of the effect is temporary and may vary depending on the area treated, the dose used, metabolism, muscle strength, lifestyle and history of previous procedures. Re-evaluation and possible subsequent treatments are only established during the medical consultation.

Like any injectable procedure, the treatment has benefits, limitations, and risks. These may include bruising, local pain, asymmetry, insufficient or excessive effect, temporary drooping of the eyelid or eyebrow, dry eyes, headaches, allergic reactions, local infection, or other individual reactions.
