- Botox® – Botulinum Toxin Injections in Lyon
Botulinum toxin, a protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, effectively blocks muscle contractions and is widely used in aesthetic medicine.
Facial Injections – Smoothing Expression Lines and Enhancing the Gaze
- The purified form of botulinum toxin is a medication used to treat conditions related to excessive or uncontrolled muscle contractions.
- Botulinum toxin, particularly Botox®, has been used for over 25 years in various therapeutic areas such as ophthalmology, neurology, and urology, with injections performed approximately every four months on thousands of patients worldwide. This extensive clinical use makes it one of the safest treatments available today.
- For the past 15 years, botulinum toxin (Vistabel®, Azzalure®, Bocouture®) has been utilized in aesthetic medicine for wrinkle reduction and facial rejuvenation, relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines in the upper third of the face, including forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines, and crow’s feet. As a non-invasive treatment, Botox® treatment in Lyon has become a popular choice for individuals seeking a non-surgical facelift, providing natural, youthful results without the need for surgery.

How Botox® Works for Aesthetic Treatment ?
- Botulinum toxin temporarily inhibits the contraction of facial expression muscles.
- The effects typically last between 4 to 6 months, with the duration increasing after multiple treatments.
- This treatment is particularly effective for softening expression lines that develop over time due to repeated muscle contractions, which cause the skin to crease in the same areas repeatedly.
- In younger individuals, these creases, known as “dynamic wrinkles,” disappear once the muscle relaxes. Over time, these wrinkles can become permanent, known as “static wrinkles.”
- When started early, botulinum toxin injections can prevent dynamic wrinkles from becoming static. If started later, they can soften static wrinkles.
Indications for Botulinum Toxin Injections in Aesthetic Medicine
- Prevention: For younger patients who wish to delay skin aging and prevent the formation of static wrinkles.
- Correction: For older patients who want to reduce expression lines and achieve a more rested appearance.
- Botulinum toxin or Botox® injections are ideal for naturally relaxing the face by smoothing expression lines, including crow’s feet, forehead lines, and glabellar lines.
- Botox® injections can also brighten the gaze by relaxing the orbicularis oculi muscle.
- Due to his extensive expertise with Botox. Dr. Eburdery treats other sensitive areas of the face, including:
- Bunny Lines: Wrinkles on either side of the nose that appear when smiling.
- Marionette Lines: Wrinkles that run from the corners of the mouth downward.
- Fine Wrinkles Around the Mouth: Addressing delicate lines in this area.
- Cervical Dewlaps (Medical Facelift): Treating sagging skin around the neck.
Specific Areas Treated with Botulinum Toxin
- Forehead Wrinkles: Horizontal lines across the forehead caused by hyperactivity of the frontal muscle. The goal is to relax this area without freezing it.
- Glabellar Lines (Wrinkles Between the Eyebrows): These lines are created by the contraction of the corrugator and procerus muscles, giving the face a hard and tired appearance. Treating this area can relax the forehead and open up the eyes. In some cases, hyaluronic acid injections may be used in conjunction to smooth the skin’s surface for optimal results.
- Crow’s Feet: Repeated contractions of the orbicularis muscle around the eyes can lead to crow’s feet. Treatment can subtly lift the outer eyebrow and open the gaze.
- Chin: The “orange peel” appearance of the chin can be corrected with botulinum toxin injections into the mentalis muscle, relaxing the muscle and reducing the mental fold.
- Marionette Lines: Caused by the contraction of the depressor muscle at the corners of the mouth, these lines can give the face a sad appearance. Relaxing this muscle can lift the corners of the mouth and rejuvenate the lower face.
- Neck Wrinkles: Contraction of the platysma muscle contributes to neck aging by lowering the corners of the mouth and increasing jowls. The platysma muscle’s contraction also causes “cervical cords,” which can be precisely treated with injections.
