Did you know that botulinum toxin is one of the most widely used drugs in the world?
Facts about botulinum toxin.
-
How does it work in aesthetics?
Contrary to what is often said, botulinum toxin does not fill tissues; it works by selectively relaxing specific muscle groups.
-
Are the injections painful?
We use the finest needles available in medicine (30G), which make the injections painless.
-
How long does the effect last?
It varies from person to person but averages 3 months. Repeated use prolongs the effect of successive injections.
-
Will I lose my facial expression?
The protocols we use only target muscles that do not affect facial expression.

About botulinum toxin injections
Botulinum toxin works only by relaxing muscles. Small injections into specific muscles can reshape facial harmony.
In aesthetics, at Clínica Myalgia we only treat the area above the cheekbones, shaping the eye opening (more open eyes), the brow line (more lifted) and forehead lines.
