About Botulinum Toxin
Wrinkles appear as part of the normal aging process. They result from contraction of facial muscles associated with internal factors such as reduced skin elasticity, decreased collagen and elastin production and skin type, texture and thickness. Some external factors also play an important role such as exposure to the sun, consumption of alcohol and cigarettes. Botulinum toxin treatment or Botox, when injected under the skin, relaxes the muscles in the treated areas. The muscles contract slightly.
Result: The skin remains smooth and relaxed, the face is rejuvenated. Botox treatment must be preceded by a consultation with Dr. Xavier Tenorio, a specialist in plastic surgery with extensive experience in botulinum toxin treatments in Geneva. Botulinum toxin (Botox – Dysport) is a protein produced by a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum which has the particular ability to block neuromuscular transmission.
Its use as a medicine began in 1960 by a group of ophthalmologists at the research level, and in 1980 it was finally used for the treatment of strabismus (crossed eyes) and blepharomspams (involuntary forced blinking), two conditions generated by abnormal muscle contraction. Since then, other applications have been discovered in the years since, including achalasia, diluting, and muscle spam due to cerebral palsy.
The cosmetic use of botulinum toxin began in the late 1980s for the treatment of frown lines, since then its application in facial dynamics has expanded significantly.
Hypohidrosis- excessive sweating
Can be treated with botolic toxin injections. Treatment areas are generally the armpits, hands and feet. Wrinkles appear as part of the normal aging process. They result from contraction of facial muscles associated with internal factors such as reduced skin elasticity, decreased production of collagen and elastin, and type, texture and thickness of the skin. Certain external factors also play an important role such as exposure to the sun, consumption of alcohol and cigarettes. Wrinkles are classified according to their depth in the skin: – Type I wrinkles are those which are only visible during muscle activation.- Type II wrinkles are moderately visible without muscle activation.- Type III wrinkles are very visible without muscle activation and almost represent a scar in the skin. The treatment varies depending on the type and nature of the wrinkle. One of the main treatments consists of “filling” the wrinkles with an injection of a gel called “hyaluronic acid”. The effect is immediate and lasts on average four to six months.

Bandage
Treatment varies depending on the type and nature of the wrinkle. One of the main treatments involves “filling” wrinkles with an injection of a gel called “hyaluronic acid”. The effect is immediate and lasts on average four to six months.
Working time
The toxin is capable of preventing muscle contraction by blocking neuromuscular transmission at the synapses. The body needs about four to six months to gradually restore synapses.
The results
The skin remains smooth and relaxed, the face is rejuvenated. Botox® treatment must be preceded by a consultation with Dr. Xavier Tenorio, a specialist in plastic surgery with extensive experience in botulinum toxin treatments in Geneva.
Type of Anesthesia and Hospitalization
Hyaluronic acid is broken down by an enzyme called hyluronidase. The average time to be completely degraded is approximately 6 months, however the time can be longer depending on the concentration of the product. The addition of hyaluronic acid gel into the dermis has been shown to provide enormous benefits to the skin such as hydration thanks to its hydrophilic properties and tightening thanks to the activation of fibroblasts. It also induces collagen formation and normal skin function. These benefits make hyaluronic acid a very effective topical humectant. The gel can be injected into the superficial and deep dermis or sub-dermis, depending on the desired result.
