What is Botox VISTA®?
It relaxes the facial muscles that cause expression lines,
making wrinkles between the eyebrows and around the eyes less noticeable.
Ingredients
The active ingredient in Botox VISTA® is a naturally derived protein.
Although it is produced from Clostridium botulinum, the active ingredient is not the bacterium itself and does not multiply in the body.
Since its introduction in the United States in the 1970s, it has been widely adopted for medical treatment and is now used in medical settings in 98 countries.
As of December 2017.
Treatment method
A small amount of Botox VISTA® is injected into the facial muscles using a very fine needle.
Treatment takes approximately 10 minutes.
Unlike surgery, anesthesia is generally unnecessary, and repeated hospital visits or hospitalization are not required.
You can resume your usual daily activities on the day of treatment.
Treatment time varies from person to person.

Effects of Botox VISTA®
In general, effects gradually become noticeable two to three days after treatment.
Although individual results vary, the effects usually last approximately three to four months.
As time passes and the injected botulinum toxin wears off, the effects gradually diminish and the treated area returns to its original condition.
Treatment does not make wrinkles worse than they were before treatment.
More effectiveTreatment for expression lines
Point 1
Three to four months after treatment, facial muscles return from their relaxed state to the pretreatment state in which wrinkles form more readily.
Continuing treatment every three to four months, rather than stopping at that point, can help maintain a youthful appearance.
Point 2
The muscles and skin of the face are interconnected.
Rather than treating only one particular expression line, considering the face as a three-dimensional whole and addressing multiple areas is an ideal way to make wrinkles less noticeable more naturally.
Point 3
People may not notice their own expression lines, such as when laughing aloud or concentrating on a smartphone.
Early treatment is effective before these lines become deeply established.
