Time and the recurring contraptions of face’s muscles occur in a gradual wrinkle development. BTX is the most widely known as well as the most widely spread anti-aging treatment in cosmetic dermatology. It is mainly used for the elimination of face’s wrinkles.

It is an application that is invasive at the minimum scale possible, of short duration, totally safe and with excellent results. BTX application is not only restricted to cosmetic dermatology, but also extends to other conditions too, such as hyperhidrosis.

What is BTX?

BTX is a protein that is produced by a micro-organism, named Clostridium botulinum. It is a substance that has the ability to loosen face muscles. This exact BTX property is used in cosmetic dermatology. An injection of micro-dosages of BTX locally, in certain face muscles, results in their loosening. This loosening results in the prevention of muscle contraption, and therefore, no expression wrinkles are formed. The absence of wrinkle creation smoothens the skin, and gradually eliminates them, so the face looks refreshed and relaxed again.

Where is BTX applied?
BTX can be applied on the face and the neck.

In particular:

• The forehead
• The eyes
• The area between the brows
• Neck areas

How is BTX applied?
With the aid of a small needle, we inject a small dosage of BTX in certain areas of the face or the neck. The procedure has a duration of about 10 minutes and it is totally painless. There is no recovery time and you can return immediately to your daily activities.

How long do the results last?
BTX’s action of face muscles begins to be visible and felt almost a week after treatment. The results last for about 4-6 months. Right after this period of time and if the treatment is not repeated, muscles’ mobility returns gradually back to normal levels. Most of the times, after 3-4 treatments, we can safely increase the time period between treatments, as we tend to “forget” the moves that cause wrinkles.
