Your Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BOTOX IN PARIS
ARE BOTOX INJECTIONS PAINFUL?
Botulinum toxin injections are performed with very fine needles, limiting pain to light punctures. Optimum precision of gesture ensures a natural result by precisely targeting the muscles and carefully dosing the toxin. Too much product or too superficial an injection can result in a frozen effect, while a controlled dosage guarantees a harmonious, subtle appearance.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Mild redness or bruising may appear, but they disappear quickly.
CAN I COMBINE BOTOX WITH OTHER AESTHETIC TREATMENTS?
Yes, Botox can be combined with hyaluronic acid injections for overall facial rejuvenation or lip injections for volume augmentation.
IS BOTOX ONLY FOR WOMEN?
NoBotox injections are suitable for both men and women. More and more men are turning to this treatment to reduce wrinkles and discreetly refresh their appearance.
FROM WHAT AGE CAN BOTOX INJECTIONS BE STARTED?
Botulinum toxin injections are permitted from 18 years of agealthough they're not usually needed that early. Botox is often used preventively to delay the appearance of expression lines.
ARE THERE SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR BENEFITING FROM BOTOX INJECTIONS?
Yes, certain conditions must be met. Injections are contraindicated in cases of :
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Neuromuscular diseases (e.g. myasthenia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
- Known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin
- Presence of an active skin infection in the area to be treated.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTOX AND HYALURONIC ACID?
Botox and hyaluronic acid have different functionalities:
- Botox works by temporarily inhibiting muscle contraction to smooth expression lines (frown lines, frown lines, crow's feet).
- Hyaluronic acid is a filler used to restore facial volumes (cheekbones, lips, nasolabial folds) and reduce static wrinkles.
STARTING BOTULINUM INJECTIONS AT 30 REDUCES LONG-TERM EFFICACY?
No, on the contrary. Botox helps prevent the appearance of deep wrinkles by limiting the muscle contractions responsible for skin folds. As it is a totally absorbable product, its effectiveness remains constant over time.
WHAT IS THE IDEAL TIME INTERVAL BETWEEN TWO BOTOX INJECTIONS?
The duration of Botox treatment varies from patient to patient. It is advisable to wait 4 months between each session to maintain and stabilize the result. Repeating injections too often (less than 3 months) can lead to botulinum toxin resistance.
WHAT ARE THE LIMITS OF BOTOX?
Botox is effective on expression lines, but when skin loses too much elasticity or wrinkles are too deep, it's often necessary to combine hyaluronic acid to fill in the hollows. In cases of significant skin sagging, the only lasting solution remains aesthetic surgery (facelift).
WHAT ARE THE ALTERNATIVES TO BOTULINUM TOXIN?
At present, no other aesthetic medicine product can reproduce the effect of botulinum toxin. In cosmetic surgery, it is possible to section a muscle to inactivate it permanently, but this technique is more invasive.
CAN BOTOX BE USED TO TREAT EXCESSIVE SWEATING?
Yes, botulinum toxin injections are used to treat hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), particularly in the armpits, hands and feet. This treatment reduces sweat production by temporarily blocking the sweat glands responsible for hypersweating.
