Botox is one of the most widely used and trusted non-surgical aesthetic treatments in the world. Known for its ability to smooth wrinkles, reduce fine lines, and provide a more youthful appearance, Botox is both preventative and corrective. If you’re considering botox in Dubai, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from how it works and what it treats, to what you should expect before, during, and after your first appointment.
With expert insights from Dr. Matteo Vigo, a renowned Italian aesthetic doctor in Dubai, you can feel confident in making informed decisions about your facial rejuvenation journey.
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Understanding Botox
Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is a purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. When injected into specific areas, it prevents the muscles from contracting, which reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repetitive facial expressions like frowning, squinting, and raising eyebrows.
How Botox Works
Once injected:
- Botox blocks nerve signals to the muscles
- This limits movement and reduces wrinkle formation
- Effects typically become visible within 3–7 days
