Botox in Madrid
Botox in Madrid: botulinum toxin treatment to soften expression lines and refresh the eyes, with a natural result that respects your facial expressions.
Botox (botulinum toxin) temporarily and selectively relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles: forehead lines, frown lines between the brows and crow's feet. It is also used to gently lift the tail of the brow, to prevent deep lines from forming (preventive Botox) and for functional indications such as bruxism (teeth grinding) or a gummy smile.
The price of Botox in Madrid depends on the number of areas treated and the dose each patient needs. In your first consultation with Dr. Barreno de Castro, a maxillofacial surgeon, she studies your facial expression, decides which areas to treat and provides a written quote.
How botox works
Botox treatment is performed in the clinic and takes 15 to 20 minutes. It is applied with micro-injections using a very fine needle at precise points in each muscle; discomfort is minimal and no anaesthesia is needed. You can return to your routine immediately.
For the first few hours you should avoid lying down, massaging the area or doing intense exercise until the next day. Small red marks may appear at the injection points and fade quickly.
The effect of Botox starts to show between the third and fifth day and reaches its full result at two weeks, when a follow-up is done to check symmetry and adjust if needed. The result usually lasts four to six months.
FAQ about botox
How much does Botox cost in Madrid?
The price depends on the areas treated (forehead, frown lines, crow's feet or others) and the dose needed. In your first consultation your case is assessed and you receive a written quote.
How long does Botox last?
Usually four to six months. With regular treatments the muscle tends to relax and the lines become progressively less marked.
Will Botox leave my face expressionless?
Not when the right dose is used. The aim is to soften wrinkles while keeping your natural expression, which is why each patient's facial muscles are studied before treatment.
Does Botox hurt?
Discomfort is minimal: a very fine needle is used and the treatment takes a few minutes. It needs no anaesthesia and no recovery time.
At what age is preventive Botox recommended?
There is no fixed age: it depends on how strong your facial muscles are and whether lines are starting to remain at rest. Your consultation will determine whether it is the right time.
