The botulinum toxin has been used for many years in ophthalmology and neurology (Botox) for the treatment of strabismus, muscle spasms, etc. In its medical-aesthetic use (Vistabel) it paralyzes muscles responsible for some unnecessary facial gestures selectively, whose repetitiveness makes stable and deep wrinkles appear.
The treatment consists of the infiltration of small amounts of botulinum toxin and it is conducted in a single session. The effect appears around the 3rd or 6th day. Some small hematoma may appear, disappearing spontaneously in a few days. The effect of the selective stoppage is not final and tends to decrease in 6-9 months.
The treatment with botulinum toxin is the best that exists and with spectacular results to treat wrinkles around the eyes, the space between the eyebrows and the forehead. It is very convenient for the patient, since it is going to be at least 6 months without wrinkles for 15 minutes that can take a session of application, with a much younger look and without losing the expression of his face.
