Upper-face anti-wrinkle treatment
Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces activity in selected facial muscles. A combined assessment of forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet helps plan treatment around your brow position and expressions.
Is it right for me?
A consultation can help if movement-related lines bother you. Brow position, eyelid support and your natural expressions matter when planning treatment.
Treatment is unsuitable with an infection at the injection site or allergy to the proposed product. Neuromuscular illness, swallowing or breathing problems and medicines that affect muscle function need specific review. Pregnancy and breastfeeding require discussion because safety data are limited; elective treatment may be deferred.
Evidence and realistic expectations.
Botulinum toxin has clinical-trial support for selected expression lines. Results and approved uses depend on the formulation and area. Evidence for one facial area does not establish the same benefit for another.
The effect is temporary muscle relaxation. It does not add volume, remove excess skin or guarantee complete removal of lines at rest. Product units cannot be compared or converted by patients.
Risks to understand.
Bruising, headache, asymmetry and unwanted muscle weakness can occur. Depending on the area, this can affect the eyelids, smile, chewing or neck. Rare spread of toxin effect can cause serious weakness. Trouble speaking, swallowing or breathing after treatment needs immediate medical attention.
What to expect.
Consultation
Discuss your concern, medical history, previous treatments and what you would like to preserve. Dr. Roy will explain suitable options, alternatives, risks and fees before you decide.
Treatment
Dr. Roy assesses the forehead, frown area and outer eye region before deciding which areas need treatment. A short series of injections follows the agreed plan.
Recovery
Allow for temporary injection marks or bruising. Dr. Roy will explain activity and aftercare advice for the areas treated; do not plan around a promise of zero downtime.
Results and review
The effect develops over several days, with a review around two weeks. Many people need reassessment after a few months.
Number of visits
One initial visit and a review are typical; the next treatment depends on how the effect wears off.
