FOREHEAD AND EYEBROWS
WHAT IS IT FOR?
Reduces the wrinkles caused by contractions of the facial muscles, frown lines, allows raising the eyebrows and correcting facial asymmetries (facial paralysis sequelae)
HOW IT WORKS
B. toxin temporarily paralyzes the muscles responsible for the lines and wrinkles of facial expression, allowing the skin to recover from years of contractions and a furrowed forehead
PROCEDURE DURATION
15 minutes
OPTIONAL ASSOCIATED PROCEDURES
Depending on the region of the face, it can be supplemented with a filler (hyaluronic acid)
TYPE OF ANESTHESIA
None or topical anaesthetic cream
SCARS
None
HOSPITAL STAY
Does not require hospitalization
RECOVERY
Avoid exercise, intense heat or strong solar exposure for the first 24-48h
RISKS AND MOST FREQUENT PROBLEMS
Assymetry. If overdosage, lack of facial expression, asymmetry, drooping eyelid
PROCEDURE LONGEVITY
The effect appears only after 3 to 4 days, with a duration of 4 to 6 months. When the treatment is not repeated, the original muscle movement returns spontaneously
WHAT IS IT FOR?
Minimizes forehead wrinkles, drooping eyebrow, folds over the eyes, furrowed forehead and frown lines
HOW IT WORKS
Brow lift or Forehead Lift is a procedure that removes excess tissue, alters the muscles and stretches the skin of the forehead. This procedure is performed with an incision on each side at the top of the head, just behind the hairline, disguising the scars within the hair
PROCEDURE DURATION
1 hour
ASSOCIATED PROCEDURES
Botulinum Toxin, Face Lift, Blepharoplasty
TYPE OF ANESTHESIA
General anaesthesia or sedation
SCARS
Small hidden scar within hair
HOSPITAL STAY
Usually does not require hospitalization
RECOVERY
1-2 weeks
RISKS AND MOST FREQUENT PROBLEMS
Very rarely, persistent areas of numbness or damage to the facial nerve (frontotemporal nerve), causing loss of motion, muscle weakness, or an asymmetrical look
PROCEDURE LONGEVITY
The results depend heavily on the quality and elasticity of tissues, but generally it lasts for at least 3 to 5 years
