Botox

Botulinum toxin reduces facial tension and smoothes wrinkles without altering your expression.

What is Botox?

Expression lines don’t appear because the face “ages overnight.” In many cases, they come from repeated facial movements that, over time, begin to leave visible marks on the forehead, between the brows, or around the eyes.

Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox,works on specific muscles to precisely relax those contractions and soften dynamic wrinkles, without adding volume or changing the shape of your face.

The result is a more rested expression while preserving natural facial movement.

What are the benefits of Botox?

  • Softens lines that become visible when making facial expressions
  • Relaxes areas of tension in the forehead, frown lines, and around the eyes
  • Refreshes the eye area without a stiff-looking effect
  • No downtime, with results that appear progressively

Botox may also be recommended for other concerns, such as bruxism or excessive sweating, always after a medical assessment at Be.u.

How does Botox work?

The first step is to observe your face in motion.

We don't just evaluate the skin at rest: we analyze how you gesture, which muscles are activated most strongly and where expression lines form.
This allows us to identify which areas need treatment and which do not, to maintain the naturalness of the face at all times.

Once we understand your facial dynamics, we mark the exact points of application.

Each face is different, so the dosage and points are determined by your facial anatomy and muscle strength.

The botulinum toxinthe treatment is applied by means of very precise microinjections in the muscles responsible for expression lines.

The procedure is quick, outpatient and usually takes between 25 and 35 minutes.

The effect starts to appear within a few days and is complete after about two weeks. If an adjustment is required, we review it with you at the subsequent check-up.

Areas that can be treated with botox

Areas that can be treated with botox

Well-applied Botox doesn’t erase your expressions; it relaxes the areas that are becoming too marked.

The treatment area, dosage, and intention depend on the way you make facial expressions and the result we want to achieve.

  • Forehead: softens the horizontal lines that appear when raising the eyebrows.
  • Frown lines: helps reduce the tension created when frowning.
  • Eye contour: improves crow’s feet and refreshes the eye area.
  • Nose: treats fine lines that appear with facial movement, depending on your assessment.
  • Chin: indicated when there is tension or an irregular “orange peel” texture.
  • Masseters: used in cases of bruxism or jaw tension.
  • Neck: indicated when there are visible bands or marked muscle tension.

Each application is defined in a personalized way. We don’t aim to immobilize the face, but to relax specific points so your expression looks fresher, more rested, and natural.
