At Clínica Terrace by Dr Mara Marques, we offer personalized treatments such as Botulinum Toxin to help smooth wrinkles, prevent premature aging and enhance your natural beauty. We combine experience and safety to provide natural, long-lasting results using high-quality products.
Botulinum toxin is a purified natural protein whose purpose is to block the neuromuscular connection, thus achieving temporary relaxation of the treated facial muscles and, as a result, smooth skin.
With this treatment it is possible to achieve the effect of a relaxed face without losing naturalness, expressiveness or facial harmony. Botulinum toxin type A, in diluted form, offers one of the best results when it comes to eliminating wrinkles and has become one of the most common aesthetic treatments in recent decades.
It acts on the muscle, helping to prevent wrinkles from forming when we make certain movements (dynamic wrinkles). Expression lines form with each muscle contraction at a certain point. The main places on the face where it can be used are the frontal region (forehead), the glabella (between the eyebrows) and the periorbital region (“crow’s feet”).
Botulinum toxin for aesthetic uses is applied with a very fine needle, at Clínica Terrace we use the Invisible Needle®. It’s a simple procedure and, for most people, painless.
Botulinum toxin can be applied to various areas of the face and body:
Smooth horizontal wrinkles.
Smooth out wrinkles around the eyes.
Slightly raise the eyebrows for a rejuvenating effect.
Improve contour and smooth fine wrinkles.
Treatment in the armpits, hands or feet to control excessive perspiration.
Reduce so-called “expression wrinkles” or “worry wrinkles”.
Improves the appearance of existing wrinkles and prevents the appearance of new ones.
Maintains facial expressiveness without compromising the natural appearance.
With an average time of 15 to 30 minutes, and always applied by a specialist doctor
In addition to aesthetic applications, it treats problems such as hyperhidrosis.
No recovery time is required and you can resume your daily activities the same day.
The procedure is well tolerated by most people, as it is performed with very fine needles. If necessary, a topical anesthetic can be applied for greater comfort.
The results depend on the individual, but they can begin to be visible between 3 and 7 days after treatment, reaching their maximum effect at around 2 weeks. After this period, maintenance may be necessary. Results generally last between 3 and 6 months, depending on the patient and the area treated.
Side effects are rare and mild and may include redness, swelling or small bruises in the treated area, which disappear within a few days.
No! When applied by experienced professionals, as at Clínica Terrace, the results are natural and maintain facial expressiveness.
