Botox® Treatment in Dubai
Botulinum toxin treatment for selected facial expression lines, planned according to your facial anatomy, muscle activity and individual treatment goals.
What Is Botox®?
Botox® is one brand of botulinum toxin type A, which is the scientific name of the substance used for treatment. Different brands and formulations of botulinum toxin are available.
Botulinum toxin injections temporarily reduce the activity of selected muscles by blocking nerve signals to the treated muscle.
In aesthetic medicine, it is commonly used to soften expression lines that develop or become more visible with repeated facial movement. Treatment should be individualized as facial anatomy, muscle strength, expression patterns and goals vary from person to person.
