Botox is often associated with overly rigid expressions, as sometimes seen in the media. However, the expertise of the aesthetic physician, both prior to and during the injection, is crucial. Dr. Norpo conducts a thorough facial analysis, taking into account the patient's natural expressions to accurately adjust the dosage of the product. The goal is to preserve facial expressiveness while achieving a natural-looking result.

Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, works by reducing the contraction of the targeted muscles. The primary indications for Botox are the treatment of forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and frown lines. In aesthetic medicine, botulinum toxin can, in certain cases, also be used to soften wrinkles on the lower face and neck. Additionally, it is highly effective in treating axillary hyperhidrosis, or excessive underarm sweating. When used early and regularly, botulinum toxin offers a significant preventive effect against facial aging, while ensuring natural-looking results.

The effects of Botox injections begin to appear gradually after 3 to 5 days, with the optimal effect becoming visible after 10 to 14 days. This results in a reduction in wrinkles, leaving the face looking refreshed and rejuvenated, while maintaining a natural expression. The effects generally last between 3 and 6 months.
