Botulinum toxin is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. There are two approved preparations currently on the Greek market.
The most popular use of botulinum toxin today is in aesthetic medicine and anti-aging. It causes relaxation of the muscles where it is injected, eliminating expression wrinkles due to their non-contraction.
It is administered by injection and inhibits muscle contraction without damaging muscle or nerve fibers.
It is mainly indicated for wrinkles in the area of the forehead, between the eyebrows, and for peri-ocular wrinkles (the so-called crow's feet).
It can also be used in cases of hyperhidrosis in the armpits, hands, and soles, as well as a treatment for blepharospasm, spastic paralysis, and migraine.

Dr. Gesakis advises
There is no specific age, but an indication that someone needs such treatment is when wrinkles appear at rest.
2-3 days after application, the drug starts to work. After two weeks, the treatment reaches its maximum effect.
For 48 hours, the patient should not be exposed to excessive heat. Also, for 4 hours, he should not rub the area, bend over or lie down.
Initially, the result lasts about 4-6 months, but after systematic treatment, the duration of the effect usually increases.
There are no possible complications apart from the appearance of bruises which will disappear within a few days.
Of course, the patient will be able to. The specific treatment freezes specific muscles so the face looks rested and youthful without being expressionless.
No, anyone can do Botox as many times as they wish and whenever they wish. However, if it is done only once, the results will only be visible as long as the effect of the medicine lasts. If the patient chooses to do it more often, a noticeable wrinkle difference will be observed, and the intervals between treatments will increase.
