It softens expression lines without taking naturalness away from the face. Botulinum toxin selectively relaxes the muscles responsible for forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet, preserving the way you smile and communicate.
It is also used for therapeutic purposes, such as treating bruxism, trapezius tension and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). When correctly administered, botulinum toxin does not change who you are. It simply softens the signs that make the face look more tired or tense than you actually feel.

No. That is precisely the result we seek to avoid. The objective is not to “freeze” the face, but to reduce the strength of the muscles that create expression lines while maintaining a natural appearance. When treatment is performed well, people notice that you look better, not that you have had a procedure.
There is no single right age. The indication depends on muscle strength, how you express your face and the wrinkles already present. For some people it makes sense to prevent them; for others, to wait a few more years.
Botulinum toxin acts on expression lines, meaning those that appear when you smile, frown or raise your eyebrows. Wrinkles already marked at rest may benefit from other approaches, such as hyaluronic acid, biostimulators, skinboosters or technologies that improve skin quality. This is precisely what we assess during the consultation.
Yes. It is one of the most studied procedures in aesthetic medicine, with decades of clinical use, administered by experienced doctors in a healthcare establishment licensed by ERS.
Nothing becomes worse when you stop. The muscles gradually recover their normal activity and wrinkles progressively return to the appearance they would naturally have.
