What is botulinum toxin
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacteria. In aesthetic medicine, it is used in minimal doses to temporarily relax muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles.
How it works
It acts by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, producing temporary and reversible muscle paralysis. This blockade allows the skin to smooth out, eliminating expression lines.
Its safety is backed by over 20 years of medical use, with FDA approvals for aesthetic treatments. In our clinic, we exclusively use Neuronox and Dysport, high-quality brands with international certifications.
