Before any treatment, the doctor will perform a careful examination of your face in order to make a diagnosis of your needs. It is possible that the doctor will suggest another alternative to address your problem. In the case where your face requires a need for wrinkle filling for example, the practitioner may suggest hyaluronic acid injections rather than injecting you with a botulinum solution. In the case where the injection of botulinum toxin is the best solution for you, here is how the procedure is performed. First of all, your cosmetic doctor ensures that you do not have any contraindications. Once the practitioner has carried out his checks, he ensures that the treatment surface is perfectly cleaned as well as rigorous asepsis (disinfection).

Now that you are ready, your cosmetic doctor performs small injections on the targeted areas of your face with a very fine needle. The session is almost painless and only lasts 15 to 30 minutes depending on the number of areas treated. And that's it, it's over! At the end of the session, you will not have any visible transformation. To benefit from the results of the procedure, you must wait 4 to 7 days after your injection. We will systematically see you again within 15 days to evaluate the result and carry out any touch-ups if necessary.

After leaving the clinic, you simply need to follow the prescriptions and instructions of your cosmetic doctor for optimal results. For example, you should not massage or press hard on the muscles of the treated areas for 24 to 48 hours.

The effect obtained has a duration of effectiveness of 4 to 6 months, it is enough to renew the sessions to preserve its results. A new session of botulinum toxin injection can be proposed around the 4th or even the 6th month post-injection.
