The onset of action and its duration are individual. It depends on the intensity of the mimic muscle contraction, the rate of degradation of the active substance and the rate of regeneration of the nerve endings in the muscle. The effect is seen in many as early as 48 hours, is fully developed after 14-21 days and lasts an average of 3-6 months. By continuously regenerating the treated area, the use of botulinum toxin for wrinkle correction is a very safe medical-cosmetic procedure. Possible eyelid drop (ptosis), double vision (diplopia) and eye dryness are corrected within 2-4 weeks. Bruising and swelling are short-lived; the sensation of burning and pain from the injection is individual.
Correction of wrinkles by botulinum toxin is a very effective and reliable method with minimal risk of side effects. It can always be repeated as needed and can be combined with all other wrinkle removal methods.
