Expression lines

Expression lines develop from repeated contraction of facial muscles over years. Each time we frown, smile, or squint, the skin folds. Over time, these dynamic wrinkles become permanent due to collagen and elastin loss. Genetics, sun exposure, and stress accelerate the process.

At Santé, we apply neuromodulators (botulinum toxin) to relax the muscles responsible for these wrinkles, smoothing forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. We combine this with hyaluronic acid on lips and nasolabial folds to restore volume. This comprehensive protocol addresses both the muscular cause and loss of hydration.

The neuromodulator works progressively: initial changes appear within 3–5 days, with complete results by day 14. One session is sufficient; effects last 3–4 months. Hyaluronic acid shows immediate results. We recommend maintenance every 3–4 months to preserve optimal results.

The procedure is virtually painless; we use very fine needles. There's no downtime—you can resume activities immediately. Some patients notice mild redness that disappears within hours. There's no minimum age restriction, though it's recommended from age 25–30. Discuss contraindications during your personalized consultation.
