Botulinum toxin, commonly known as botox, is a minimally invasive medical-aesthetic treatment that acts to smooth dynamic wrinkles and prevent premature skin aging. When applied at strategic points, it temporarily blocks the contraction of the muscles responsible for expression lines, providing a more rested, natural and rejuvenated appearance.
Book appointment
Treatment with botulinum toxin consists of injecting small amounts of the substance into specific muscles, using very fine needles. The procedure is quick, lasts between 15 to 30 minutes and does not require recovery time. The first results become visible from the 5th day, with the maximum effect being reached around the 21st day.
See real-world examples in our clinical case gallery, before and after botulinum toxin treatment at IDC.Clinic.
