Botulinum toxin (wrinkles)
Botulinum toxin (botox) has been used since the 1980’s for its pharmacological capacity to modulate voluntary muscle activity for therapeutic ends.
Its use in aesthetic medicine relies on over 20 years’ experience, with ample evidence of its innocuousness and efficacy. Thanks to the botulinum toxin, it is possible to smooth dynamic facial wrinkles, i.e. those caused by important, and sometimes involuntary, contraction of facial muscles.
Detailed facial analysis during consultation serves to identify the muscles responsible that will be subjected to treatment.
Dr Dudrap proposes injections of botulinum toxin to achieve a natural-looking result without “freezing” facial expression, for example by preserving eyebrow mobility in the case of treatment of forehead wrinkles.

Dr. Dudrap's expertise
Dr Dudrap uses hyper-concentrated botulinum toxin, i.e. with the same number of units of toxin in a smaller diluted volume. This reduces the risk of diffusion of the substance and makes it possible to treat targeted muscles with great precision.
