Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften dynamic expression lines by easing the muscles that create them — most often frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet around the eyes, with finer options for bunny lines, the chin and smoker's lines. At AESTETICA the treatment is carried out by a physician after assessing how your face moves, so expression is relaxed rather than frozen. Single areas or discounted multi-area packages are available, including a Botox Lift covering three to four areas.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, carefully placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the pull of specific facial muscles. When those muscles contract less strongly, the overlying skin creases less and existing dynamic lines gradually soften over the following days. At AESTETICA the appointment begins with a physician assessing your facial movement and agreeing which areas to treat — commonly the glabella (frown lines), forehead and the lateral eye area, with additional options for bunny lines on the nose, chin dimpling, vertical lip lines and a neck and décolleté treatment. The injections take around ten to fifteen minutes using a very fine needle, usually without anaesthetic, and you can return to normal activities the same day while avoiding heat, lying flat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Results typically begin to appear after a few days and settle within about two weeks, with the effect commonly lasting three to four months before muscle movement gradually returns and a repeat session may be considered. Single-area treatment is available, as are discounted two- and three-area combinations and a Botox Lift spanning three to four areas for a broader refresh. The treatment is intended for adults who want a rested, still-expressive appearance; it is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the doctor reviews your suitability, expectations and any contraindications at the consultation.
