For a smooth skin, a fresh look, and more !<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Naturally rested. Not frozen. Botulinum toxin type A is a protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum<\/em>, utilis\u00e9e en m\u00e9decine esth\u00e9tique pour relaxer temporairement les muscles responsables des rides d’expression. Son injection bloque les impulsions nerveuses vers les muscles cibl\u00e9s, att\u00e9nuant les rides du front, les rides du lion (glabelle) et les pattes d’oie, sans forc\u00e9ment figer le front.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’effet est visible d\u00e8s 5 \u00e0 7 jours et se maintient en moyenne 3 \u00e0 5 mois. Dans les cliniques de Forever Institut (Geneva<\/a>, Nyon<\/a> and Lausanne<\/a>), the treatment is carried out in 30 minutes by aesthetic doctors, who choose the right product for the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n

Qu’est-ce que l’injection de toxine botulique ?<\/h3>\n
\n

Botulinum toxin type A is a protein naturally produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. In aesthetic medicine, its injection causes a temporary relaxation of the targeted muscles, visibly reducing expression lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

The treatment is recognised and approved for glabellar wrinkles (frown lines), crow's feet, forehead wrinkles, platysma (neck wrinkles) and hyperhidrosis (excess perspiration). At Forever Institut, aesthetic doctors use products that are recognised and selected for their effectiveness and safety, according to each patient's profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

With 30 years' expertise in aesthetic medicine in French-speaking Switzerland, Forever Institut applies a rigorous medical approach to botulinum injections: each treatment is preceded by a detailed morphological analysis and tailored to the specific facial features of each patient.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Zones trait\u00e9es : rides du lion, front et pattes d’oie<\/h3>\n
\n

Botulinum toxin is injected into the upper third of the face, where repeated muscular contractions of the muscles responsible for facial expressions end up creating permanent furrows. Three areas are treated in current practice:<\/span><\/p>\n

Lion's wrinkles (glabella)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows, linked to the corrugator and procerus muscles. Botulinum toxin injection for frown lines is the oldest clinically validated area - it is often the entry point for first-time patients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forehead wrinkles<\/b><\/h3>\n

Horizontal wrinkles that appear when the eyebrows are raised. At Forever Institut, we understand that muscular forces and movements are synergistic. So, to ensure a harmonious result, forehead wrinkles are considered to be \u00ab3 zones\u00bb because their treatment almost always includes the glabella and crow's feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crow's feet (lateral canthal wrinkles)<\/b><\/h3>\n

Fan-shaped wrinkles that start at the outer corner of the eyes when smiling. Botulinum toxin injection for eye wrinkles is particularly appreciated for its natural result and discreet rejuvenating effect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forever Institut's doctors generally recommend the 3-zone treatment to obtain a harmonious result over the entire upper third of the face. The dosage and injection points are adapted to the anatomy, muscle tone and individual objectives of each patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Platysma (neck wrinkles<\/b>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Botulinum toxin can also be used to treat vertical neck wrinkles linked to the platysma muscle, often called \u00abplatysmal bands\u00bb. Over time, this muscle becomes more visible and contributes to the appearance of a slack, marked neck. Botulinum toxin injections relax these muscle contractions, softening the vertical cords of the neck and redefining the oval of the face. The treatment offers a natural rejuvenating effect, with a visibly smoother, tighter neck and a better-defined jawline. Results appear gradually over a few days and generally last 3 to 4 months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

R\u00e9sultats et dur\u00e9e de l’effet<\/h3>\n
\n

The first effects of botulinum injections appear between the 5th and 7th day following treatment. The final results are visible between the 10th and 15th day. The effectiveness of the treatment is maintained for an average of 3 to 5 months, depending on the patient. Clinical trials document an average duration of around 3 months, but the effect often lasts slightly longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

With repeated sessions, the targeted muscles gradually develop the habit of contracting less, which tends to prolong the interval between treatments. Forever Institut recommends around 3 sessions a year to maintain the benefits of the treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

One notable advantage: botulinum toxin injections also act preventively, limiting the worsening of expression lines before they crystallise in the tissues with age.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Safety, precautions and contraindications<\/h3>\n
\n

Before the session<\/b><\/h3>\n

To minimise the risk of bruising, avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin and blood-thinning supplements (omega-3, turmeric, vitamin C) in the days leading up to your appointment. If you are taking anticoagulants, tell your doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n
