Botulinum toxin

Vistabex - Azzalure - Bocouture


Botulinum toxin is the most common aesthetic treatment, along with hyaluronic acid-based fillers; the demand for such treatments is constantly growing.

This demonstrates that an increasing number of people are interested in achieving a fresher and more youthful appearance.

The main indications for botulinum toxin are forehead and eye contour wrinkles, although it is sometimes possible to use it in the lower part of the face as well.

A valuable ally for the aesthetic surgeon, it is extremely safe and provides excellent and reproducible results over time.

Contrary to commonly heard beliefs, botulinum toxin has an extremely low percentage of side effects and complications, much lower than the vast majority of drugs currently on the market; essentially, these may include temporary and fully reversible drooping of the eyebrow or eyelid. The evolution of the technique has further reduced the percentage of unwanted effects.

Its effect is to soften the affected muscles, significantly reducing wrinkles. Skillful use of botulinum toxin allows maintaining normal expressiveness.

The latest global guidelines, also endorsed by AITEB, recommend treating the forehead region very gently, in order to maintain sufficient mobility while improving wrinkles.

The result is always temporary and lasts on average about six months, with individual variations. The effects of botulinum toxin become visible only two or three days after the injection.

The treatment is outpatient and does not require anesthesia.

Patients can immediately return to their daily activities.

Dr. Giovanni Brunelli's clinic has been recognized as a center of excellence for botulinum toxin treatment.


The three products differ from each other in the presence or absence of non-active proteins; however, the active component is the same for all the products.

According to the latest studies, the effects of the different products appear to be completely overlapping, both in terms of the quality of the result and the duration over time.

Dr. G. Brunelli's clinic is classified as an "advanced" center for botulinum toxin treatment by AITEB (Italian Association of Aesthetic Medicine), and you can find more information about it on their website at http://www.aiteb.it/Elenco-medici-associati/3.
