Facial Botox — Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Botulinum toxin type A is a purified neuromuscular agent that, in micro-doses, blocks the release of acetylcholine at the junction between nerve and muscle. The treated muscle relaxes, and because dynamic facial wrinkles are formed by the repeated contraction of these mimic muscles, the skin above them stops folding and the lines fade. It is the most established treatment for upper-face dynamic wrinkles worldwide.

At Dermafit, facial botox is delivered by a dermatology-trained physician, which distinguishes it from injections performed by non-medical operators. The session begins with an assessment of the patient's muscle movement and skin condition, since a dermatologist is also screening the skin for unrelated pathology. The doctor marks the injection points and introduces the toxin into the target muscle through a thin needle as several fine punctures. The areas…

Results are not immediate: the effect develops gradually over approximately two weeks as the targeted muscles relax. The smoothing typically lasts three to six months after a first application, and the interval between treatments often lengthens with repeated sessions because the muscles become progressively less active.
