What is a botulinum toxin injection?
Botulinum toxin injection is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to reduce wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance to the face. Botulinum toxin is an injectable filler that is resorbable by the body.
Expression lines are linked to excess activation of certain muscles which, through their repetitive action, cause the formation of depressions in your skin.
When injected into the skin, botulinum toxin (or Botox) acts by temporarily paralyzing the muscles, which blocks this hyperactivity which causes expression lines.
Botulinum toxin promotes the work of other muscles (antagonists to the previous ones); and thus generates a real tensor effect (lifting and/or tightening) on the skin and the reduction or even disappearance of wrinkles in the treated areas.
Results of a botulinum toxin injection
When do we see results?
The results of a botulinum toxin injection are not immediate. Botox only sets after 10 to 15 days. There is therefore no reason to worry if you do not see results the first few days following your session.
How long do the effects of a botulinum toxin injection last?
The effects of botulinum toxin injections usually last three to four months, before muscle function returns to normal.
Indications and contraindications to botulinum toxin injections
Botulinum toxin injections are not recommended for people with a history of neurological disease, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people with bleeding disorders.
Botulinum toxin injection technique
Botulinum toxin injections are given in a series of tiny pricks to coat the product in an even layer over the area to be treated.
The progress of a botulinum toxin injection session in Paris
A first meeting with the doctor is held in the clinic, to determine your objectives and define the areas to be treated.
You will be welcomed back into our clinic after a 24-hour reflection period has passed.
The botulinum toxin injection session begins with disinfection of the area to be treated.
The treatment consists of performing a few injection points on the face for the treatment of expression lines or in the armpits for the treatment of hyperhidrosis.
The use of doses adapted to each case, depending in particular on muscle power, makes it possible to avoid the “frozen” appearance often feared by patients.
No anesthesia is necessary.
The treatment is generally done in a single session.

In some cases, botulinum toxin injections can also cause ptosis (drooping) of the upper eyelid. This can happen when the product is injected a little too low on the forehead. However, these cases are rare. At Renécia, we systematically carry out a check after the session, and if necessary, we perform a new corrective injection after 10 to 15 days.
