Skin aging occurs due to internal factors linked to the passage of time and genetics and external factors, such as exposure to sunlight, poor nutrition and tobacco addiction, among others. Wrinkles on the forehead are a good indication to be able to implement measures in time and prevent cellular oxidation from continuing to wreak havoc on the largest organ in the human body.
In order to reduce wrinkles in the upper third of the face, our doctors perform the treatment with botulinum toxin, commonly called botox. This purified natural protein relaxes the facial muscles when injected in small doses in each area to be improved. Microinjections, as they are known, are practically painless and, on rare occasions, a small bruise appears at some point that resolves spontaneously.
The procedure, which takes place in the clinic, takes approximately 30 minutes and lasts 4 to 6 months. It does not require hospitalization or any type of anesthesia and presents visible results from the third day after its application, which allows patients to resume their daily activities without problems.
