- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is botulinum toxin
Botulinum toxin type A is a purified substance that temporarily acts on the muscles responsible for expression lines.
When applied in small doses, it relaxes facial muscles in a controlled manner, smoothing lines such as those on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
The treatment is safe, quick, and extensively studied, having been used for decades in both aesthetic medicine and medical fields such as neurology or ophthalmology.
2. How botulinum toxin works
Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine — a substance that causes muscle contraction.
By reducing this contraction, expression lines relax, and the skin regains a smoother and younger appearance without losing natural mobility.
At OnlySmile, we apply doses adapted to each face, respecting the anatomy and expressiveness of each patient.
The result is a subtle and harmonious rejuvenation.
3. Most treated areas
The most common areas for application are:
- Forehead — horizontal lines caused by eyebrow elevation.
- Glabella — vertical lines between the eyebrows (“frown lines”).
- Crow’s feet — lines around the eyes.
- Nose (“bunny lines”) — lines formed when smiling.
- Chin and jawline — to relax muscle tension.
- Neck — platysmal bands (cervical rejuvenation).
It can also be used for therapeutic purposes, such as bruxism and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
4. Advantages of the treatment
- Naturalness: the face retains movement and expression.
- Safety: a widely studied and approved substance.
- Speed: session of 15 to 20 minutes.
- Immediate recovery: you can resume activities on the same day.
- Prevention: prevents the deepening of future wrinkles.
- Versatility: can be used alone or in combination with other treatments.
The philosophy of OnlySmile is clear — less is more. The goal is to highlight what time has faded without altering identity.
5. How the procedure is at OnlySmile
- Detailed facial assessment: analysis of expression, symmetry, and muscle strength.
- Definition of a personalized treatment plan.
- Application of botulinum toxin with ultra-fine needles — virtually painless.
- Verification of facial balance and post-treatment instructions.
The procedure is performed in a controlled clinical environment by a qualified doctor with certified products.
The session takes about 20 minutes, and results begin to be visible in 3 to 5 days.
6. Preventive botulinum toxin
Increasingly, botulinum toxin is used for preventive purposes.
From the age of 25-30, small doses strategically applied help to prevent the formation of permanent wrinkles, keeping the skin youthful for longer.
At OnlySmile, preventive treatment is planned individually — respecting age, facial expression, and skin characteristics.
7. Combinations with other aesthetic treatments
Botulinum toxin can be combined with other facial harmonization procedures for more complete and lasting results:
- Hyaluronic Acid — to fill and hydrate static wrinkles.
- Thread Lifts — to redefine the facial contour.
- Facial Mesotherapy — to revitalize the skin.
- Chemical Peeling — to improve texture and luminosity.
This combination, digitally planned, creates a natural and balanced rejuvenation — without exaggeration.
8. Care before and after application
Before:
- Avoid anticoagulant medications (unless prescribed by a doctor).
- Avoid alcohol consumption 24 hours prior.
- Arrive without makeup.
After:
- Do not massage the treated area in the first 24 hours.
- Avoid intense physical exercise during this period.
- Do not lie down for the next 4 hours.
- Avoid sun or excessive heat for 48 hours.
Following these guidelines, results are more uniform and long-lasting.
9. Results, duration, and maintenance
Results begin to be visible between the 3rd and 5th day after application, reaching maximum effect in about 15 days.
The average duration is 4 to 6 months, depending on individual response and patient habits.
Periodic maintenance ensures stable results and always natural expression.
At OnlySmile, each review is accompanied by facial reassessment, ensuring balance between all treated areas.
