Ophthalmologists were the first to have used botulinum toxin, in the early nineteen eighties.
It was injected into the eye muscles to treat certain types of strabism, then into the eyelids to block certain invalidating palpebral contractures. Unexpected result, the wrinkles around the eyes disappeared...
This was the start of modern aesthetic medicine.
Contraction of the face muscles leads, with time, to dispersion of facial fat. Certain zones become hollow, others heavy. The resulting contours are responsible for unsightly shadows. At the same time, on the surface, the skin becomes thinner, breaks apart and loses its radiance.
Careful use of botulinum toxin allows time to be interrupted by limiting the unwanted muscle contractions.
If regular use of botulinum toxin allows us to prevent broken skin and wrinkles setting in, the protocols of today are also able to subtly lift a tired look by means of selective injections.
