Botox 1 Area

A single-area botulinum toxin injection targeting one dynamic wrinkle zone — forehead horizontal lines, glabellar frown lines between the brows, or lateral crow's feet around the eyes. Performed by an aesthetic medicine practitioner using precise micro-injection technique.

Single-area botulinum toxin treatment at Viva Estetica targets one of the three primary upper-face expression zones: horizontal forehead lines caused by frontalis muscle contraction, vertical glabellar frown lines produced by the corrugator and procerus muscles, or crow's feet lines radiating from the lateral orbicularis oculi. The practitioner assesses facial dynamics during consultation to determine the optimal injection pattern for the chosen area. The procedure involves multiple micro-injections of botulinum toxin type A into the target muscle using a fine-gauge needle. Injection depth, spacing, and dosage are calibrated to the patient's muscle mass and movement patterns. The toxin works by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, reducing involuntary muscle contraction that creates visible wrinkles during facial expression. Onset of effect typically begins 3-5 days post-injection, with full results visible at 10-14 days. Duration of effect ranges from 3-6 months depending on individual metabolism, muscle activity level, and whether the patient is a first-time or repeat recipient. First-time patients sometimes metabolise the toxin faster, with subsequent treatments often yielding progressively longer-lasting results. The appointment takes approximately 20 minutes including consultation and treatment. Patients are advised to avoid lying flat, vigorous exercise, and facial massage for 4 hours following injection. The treatment requires no downtime and patients can return to normal activities immediately. Viva Estetica books all botox appointments with a minimum 2-hour advance notice.
