Botulinum toxin
in Buenos Aires

It temporarily relaxes the muscles that form expression lines. It does not add volume: it acts on movement. The indication, the areas and the dose are defined at an individual assessment consultation; results vary by patient and cannot be guaranteed.

Results vary by patient and cannot be guaranteed. The indication and scope of any procedure are defined only after an individual medical assessment.

Timings are indicative. The duration of the effect varies with the area, the metabolism and the units applied; it is assessed at the consultation.

It all starts with a consultation

At the consultation we study the muscle dynamics at rest and in motion, identify the areas and determine the dose in units.

Every treatment begins with a personalised assessment consultation.

The treatment

It does not add volume.
It acts on movement.

Botulinum toxin type A is a purified protein that, injected in small amounts into specific facial muscles, temporarily interrupts the nerve signal that activates them. The result is a selective relaxation of the treated muscle that reduces dynamic wrinkles: the expression lines that appear when frowning, raising the eyebrows or smiling.

Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, it acts on muscle movement. That is why its indication depends on the type of wrinkle to be treated — something assessed by looking at the face at rest and in motion.

The areas

It is not just the forehead
and the glabella.

The range of application covers aesthetic and also functional goals.

01
Forehead Softens the horizontal lines caused by repeatedly raising the eyebrows.
02
Glabella Treats the vertical lines that give an angry or tired look.
03
Crow's feet Reduces the lines at the outer corner of the eyes when smiling.
04
Bunny lines The lines on the sides of the nose when it wrinkles. Common and seldom treated.

The areas to treat and the dose are defined at the consultation, after the facial mapping.

Is it for you?

There is no starting age.
There is a type of wrinkle.

It is indicated for any adult with dynamic wrinkles — those that form with movement — who wishes to prevent or correct them. There is no single starting age: the indication depends on the patient's concern and on the clinical assessment.

When it is usually done

  • Ages 25 to 30Preventive treatment before wrinkles settle in
  • Ages 30 to 50Moderate expression lines, without surgery
  • 50 onwardsAs a complement to other treatments

Conditions

  • An adultWith dynamic wrinkles present
  • Prior clinical assessmentOf the muscle dynamics at rest and in motion
  • Realistic expectationsRelaxing the muscle, not erasing the face

At the consultation I assess your muscle dynamics and tell you what applies — or whether nothing applies yet.

The procedure

Fifteen minutes,
and back to your day.

The full session takes 15 to 20 minutes at the practice, requires no anaesthesia or special preparation, and everyday life can be resumed immediately.

It begins with the assessment and facial mapping: the muscle dynamics are studied at rest and in motion, the areas to treat are identified and the dose in units is determined. That step is what defines a natural, proportionate result. The area is then cleaned with antiseptic solution, marked and treated.

Duration

That it is not permanent
is part of the advantage.

The effect is not permanent, and that allows the treatment to be adjusted over time according to the needs of each stage.

The duration varies by patient and is assessed at the consultation: it depends on the area treated, on the individual metabolism and on the number of units applied. Areas with more active muscles tend to need touch-ups more often than those with less movement.

Medical criterion

Nothing is decided
from a screen.

The indication, scope and planning of any procedure are defined only after an individual medical assessment.

Send your photos on WhatsApp and, subject to availability, I will reply with a preliminary assessment for your case. The fee is defined at the assessment consultation.

◆ My approach

Dra. Jenny Ortega
De La Rosa

Specialist in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

I am a plastic surgeon with a practice focused on facial rejuvenation. My practice covers the whole spectrum of the face: from the Deep Plane Facelift and facial surgery (necklift, temporal lift, blepharoplasty, lip lift, rhinoplasty) to non-surgical treatments (hyaluronic acid, thread lifts, PRP and other injectables).

My criterion: a facelift is not a surgery about age, it is a surgery about laxity. That is why my first job is not to operate, but to assess honestly who is a candidate today — and who is not yet. Titular Member of the SCPBA — Buenos Aires Plastic Surgery Society · M.N. 146.616

Frequently asked

What people ask
before deciding.

Sensation during botulinum toxin application varies by patient and treated area. The technique, comfort measures and aftercare are discussed during the individual assessment.
The first results begin to appear between 3 and 7 days after application. The full effect is reached at two weeks, at which point a post-treatment follow-up is performed to assess whether any touch-up is needed. Results should not be judged before 14 days.
No, when the dose and technique are correct. The goal of botulinum toxin is not to paralyze all facial expression, but to selectively relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. With a precise technique wrinkles can be reduced while maintaining natural mobility and expressiveness. The "frozen" effect is usually the result of excessive doses or incorrect technique. In our practice the priority is always a natural result.
The duration of the effect varies for each patient and is assessed at the consultation, depending on the treated area, each patient's metabolism, and the number of units applied. Areas with more active muscles — such as crow's feet — tend to have shorter duration. With regular and continuous treatments, muscles become accustomed to working less and the interval between sessions can progressively extend.
