Conclusion

There are no contraindications to the injection of the botulinum toxin, except for pregnancy and myasthenia. A few transitory side-effects may be observed, such as an accentuation of the eyebrow angle and an excessive drooping of the eyelid during a few weeks, as well as more or less important headaches.

The botulinum toxin is a major contribution to forehead and eye aesthetics. It is the best product to treat areas that cannot be treated with injections: the forehead, the crow’s feet, the frown lines. Its efficiency and safety enables to delay or avoid a forehead lift. Associated to dermal fillers, it provides very satisfying results, even on a long term.

We have become less suspicious with time, and now believe that the botulinum toxin is completely innocuous. However, the principle of precaution should not be forgotten, and we always explain to our patients that there can be an unknown medical risk, even at very low doses. It is important for patients to be informed on botox before initiating a treatment.

The practitioner’s skill will consist in injecting the necessary and sufficient quantity of toxin. The goal is to smooth the wrinkles and most of all not to paralyze facial expressions.

By working artistically with the toxin so as not to inhibit facial expressions, the practitioner obtains a “zen” effect on the look that is very appreciated. Click here to discover our Combined injectable packages.
