What is Botulinum Toxin?

Applications in aesthetics and ophthalmology

Botulinum toxin is a substance that works by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for expression lines. It is injected at strategic points to soften expression lines and to treat medical conditions related to the eye muscles.

🔹 Aesthetic use: Removal of frown lines, crow's feet and forehead lines.
🔹 Medical use: Treatment of blepharospasm, mild eyelid ptosis and facial spasms.

When it is recommended

✅ Blepharospasm (involuntary eyelid movements).
✅ Hemifacial spasm (involuntary contractions on one side of the face).

This treatment is safe and effective in the hands of a specialist ophthalmologist.
