Botulinum Toxin Treatments:
What is the Best Botox?
The lack of knowledge about facial rejuvenation treatments without surgery raises doubts. Among them, we can highlight ” what is the best botox? “Among the most frequent that consult me every day in Arques Clinic.
So, in this article, I collect the most frequent questions about botulinum toxin type A to know if there is one better than another.
And to grant greater credibility to the article, I have asked permission to a real client (Mireia Gálvez) to allow me to reproduce part of the conversation I had with her.
Thank you, Mireia, for sharing your doubts!
What is Botox?
Although practically all people who come to the clinic know what the treatment is, I will stop to briefly explain what botox treatment is .
Botox is actually the trade name for a type of botulinum toxin type A .
This means that, when we talk about botox, in reality we refer to the procedure of rejuvenation of botulinum toxin type A with which we revitalize and rejuvenate the look, attenuate wrinkles and recover the firmness of the skin and restore the radiance to the face .
Is botox better for reducing wrinkles than other treatments?
There are several facial rejuvenation treatments without surgery and botulinum toxin is one of them.
It is not that it is better or worse than others, but that each procedure has its particularities and characteristics.
For example, botulinum toxin is ideal for wrinkles of expression of the upper third of the face (frown, crow’s feet and forehead), while if you want to correct the bar code, imperfections in the skin or wrinkles in the neck , there are other more suitable alternatives, such as laser, hyaluronic acid, Arques Top Lip …
Depending on what results you want to achieve, the area you want to treat and the type of wrinkle on your skin, we will recommend one or the other.
But all the rejuvenation treatments we offer at Arques Clinic are effective, safe and offer lasting and natural results .
If there are several types of Botulinum Toxin, what is the best Botox?
More than talking about the “best” in this case is more accurate to speak of “authorized.”
I say this because for treatments with botulinum toxin , currently in Spain only some specific brands are authorized: Azzalure, Vistabel and Bocouture, from different laboratories.
If what concerns you is the effectiveness or duration of each brand, be calm, because the scientific studies carried out to date show that the differences between them are insignificant.
Among these differences, according to the studies, it seems that Azzalure, in general terms, is the one that provides a longer duration, although the scientists themselves point out that the effects depend to a great extent on the firmness of the patient’s tissues, as well as on their own expressive habits and facial gesticulation.
I want to apply the Best Botox because it gives me security. Are all brands equally reliable?
The regulatory and drug control bodies in Spain are among the most demanding and restrictive in the world.
Therefore, you can rest assured, since all the authorized brands are reliable, safe and of high quality.
At Arques Clinic we work with the Allergan and Galderma laboratories, both of international renown for the quality of their products.
To Conserve My Natural Expression on the Face, what is the best botox?
The goal of treatment with botulinum toxin is to reduce wrinkles of expression, rejuvenate the face and restore the skin’s natural luminosity.
This means that the correct application of this technique provides natural results, so that your expression and your ability to gesture with the facial muscles will not be altered at all .
You probably have this fear because you have read that the botulinum toxin tenses the muscles. But you can be calm, because you will not lose your natural facial expression or appear to have frozen your face .
Is there one type of botox better than another depending on age?
No. Treatment with botulinum toxin can be applied at different ages and in all cases it offers very good results.
Therefore, we receive people over 60 years old because they want to regain firmness and reduce wrinkles and others who are 30 years old, who are interested in botulinum toxin as a preventive measure against aging.
It is clear to me: in Arques Clinic you use the Best Botox with your Clients
