In brief
Botox® acts on expression lines, while the appearance of the skin needs a complementary approach. DXface®, a non-invasive aesthetic treatment, supports this journey: it prepares the skin before injections and maintains its firmness and radiance between appointments.
Botox®, a treatment going mainstream
Long reserved for a minority, botulinum toxin injections, often called “Botox®”, are now part of the beauty routine of many women and more and more men. They are found among younger women, who want to prevent expression lines from forming, and among more mature women, who want to keep a rested face. This treatment remains a medical procedure, carried out only by a doctor.
How does Botox® work?
Botox® is a product that puts the muscle to sleep. Injected in very small amounts, it blocks the signal the nerve sends to the muscle. The muscle stops contracting, or contracts much less: expression lines on the forehead, crow's feet or frown lines fade.
This effect is temporary: it usually lasts 3 to 6 months, the time it takes for the connection between nerve and muscle to be restored. Throughout this period, the treated muscle stops working.
A muscle at rest loses volume
Like any muscle that does not work, a muscle put at rest by Botox® can lose thickness. Some studies have observed this, with a more marked effect after repeated injections. In principle, this loss is reversible once the muscle works again, but it is a reminder of something important: the face needs care.
A result to maintain
Botox® acts on the muscles, not on skin quality. Firmness, radiance, density, tissue tone: these signs keep changing. To keep a harmonious face between appointments, you need to keep stimulating the face.
That is the role of DXface®. This non-invasive aesthetic treatment combines Stretching Cellulaire® and rhythmic HyperPulse® stimulation. It mobilises the facial tissues and helps maintain their tone, firmness and radiance. It does not replace an injection: it is there to support it.
Before injections: preparing the skin
A few DXface® sessions beforehand help present fresher skin on the day of the appointment:
- Drainage: soften a puffy look and tired features.
- Radiance: bring back a brighter, more even complexion.
- Skin quality: more supple, more toned skin.
Schedule these sessions well in advance and always follow the doctor's instructions on the interval to respect before the appointment.
After injections: maintaining the result
Once the interval set by the doctor has passed, DXface® takes over in the salon:
- Firmness and tone: keep the skin dense and toned.
- Radiance: keep a fresh, rested complexion.
- Complementary areas: work on the neck, facial contour or lip contour.
- Regularity: maintenance sessions between injection appointments.
