WHAT IS EXPRESSION LINE TREATMENT, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Expression lines are fine lines that form on the face as a result of repetitive muscle movements and natural aging. They can vary in depth and usually appear in areas of constant movement: the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. With advances in cosmetic medicine, it is possible to soften them and slow their progression with noninvasive and effective treatments.
Botulinum toxin (Botox) works by relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkles, which reduces existing lines and prevents new ones from forming.
This treatment for fine lines and wrinkles results in smoother, more rested, and more natural-looking skin.
Ideal for those looking to smooth out existing fine lines, prevent the formation of new wrinkles, or maintain a rested and rejuvenated appearance.
Results may vary from patient to patient. Consult our medical team for a personalized evaluation to treat expression lines in Mexico City.
