Lines of Expression
Expression lines are the creases or folds that appear on the face due to repetitive muscle movements and natural aging. They can vary in depth, from fine lines to more pronounced creases, and tend to appear in areas that are constantly moving, such as the face, neck and hands. Thanks to advances in aesthetic medicine, it is possible to smooth them out and largely prevent their progression with effective, non-invasive treatments.

Procedure
The physician evaluates the areas to be treated and applies botulinum toxin through superficial microinjections. The procedure usually lasts between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the extent of the treated area.
Botulinum toxin works by relaxing the muscles responsible for repetitive facial expressions, such as frowning or smiling. This prevents the muscles from contracting forcefully, softening existing lines and preventing the formation of new ones.
The procedure is minimally invasive and generates very little discomfort. Very fine needles are used for the injections, and in some cases, topical anesthesia is applied for comfort.
Results start to be visible between 3 and 7 days after treatment. The full effect is reached about 2 weeks after application.
When performed correctly by an expert physician, the treatment preserves the naturalness of facial expressions. Only the specific muscles related to expression lines are relaxed.
Yes, it is safe to apply botulinum toxin regularly as long as the recommended intervals are respected (minimum 3 months) and it is administered by a trained professional.
Yes, by relaxing facial muscles, botulinum toxin helps prevent the appearance of new lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive motion.
Recommended:
- Avoid lying down during the first 2 hours.
- Do not rub or massage the treated area.
- Avoid intense exercise and alcohol consumption for 24 hours.
- Do not expose to intense heat, such as saunas, during the first 24 hours.
