At the Institut de la Màcula, we use infiltration techniques in facial aesthetic medicine to achieve muscle relaxation by blocking neuromuscular transmission. In this way, the muscles responsible for frown lines and other expression lines, including eye wrinkles, are relaxed.
The full effect of the injections to eliminate expression lines appears between three and five days after treatment. It is a painless procedure that does not require any postoperative care. After one week, the result is assessed and, if deemed necessary, the treatment can be touched up. The effect is always temporary and lasts between three and six months.
Dermal fillers to combat volume loss
In addition, over time, it is common for facial tissues to lose volume, leading to folds and creases. Today, we have facial aesthetic medicine treatments that restore lost volume through the injection of natural filling substances.
Another area where these treatments are especially useful is under-eye hollows. Patients with prominent grooves in this area are good candidates for this type of treatment. This technique allows effective filling with a completely natural result.
These treatments are not permanent and usually last between six and eighteen months, depending on the product used. If the treatment is not satisfactory for the patient, the hyaluronic acid can be dissolved within a few hours by applying a harmless enzyme.
