Botox

Since its FDA approval in 2002, Botox® has become one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments worldwide. Its ability to soften expression lines quickly, safely, and without surgery has revolutionized the aesthetic medicine field.

Dr. Pérez has extensive experience in Botox® application, focusing on achieving natural, harmonic results adapted to each patient's facial characteristics.

What is Botox and how does it work?

Botox® is a purified protein derived from botulinum toxin type A. Its application in minimal doses directly on certain facial muscles causes a temporary and controlled relaxation, decreasing excessive contraction that causes wrinkles and expression lines.

Main application areas:

Forehead(horizontal lines)

Between eyebrows(glabellar lines or "frown lines")

Crow's feet(lines around the eyes)

Perioral lines(barcode lines)

Neck(platysmal bands)

Subtle eyebrow or lip corner lift(more open gaze)

The result is a face with a more rested, fresh, and rejuvenated appearance, without losing natural expression.

Other medical uses of Botox

Besides aesthetic use, Botox is also used in clinical treatments to improve various conditions:

Chronic migraine:decreases frequency and intensity of episodes.

Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating):reduces sweat production in armpits, palms, and soles.

Bruxism and jaw pain:by relaxing masseter muscles.

Blepharospasm:involuntary eyelid spasms.

Facial asymmetries post-paralysis:improves muscular aesthetic balance.

Dr. Pérez's Application Technique

Dr. Pérez performs a meticulous facial evaluation prior to each application to identify muscles responsible for expression lines and define exact injection points.

Features of his technique:

Uses ultra-fine needles to minimize discomfort and avoid bruising.

Localized anesthesia using cold for greater patient comfort

Applies product at strategic points, achieving a natural and expressive effect, without "frozen faces".

Adjusts dose and technique according to patient's individual anatomy and needs.
