Refinex — A New Botulinum Toxin with a Unique Purification Formula
Refinex is a sterile, purified form of botulinum toxin type A. Its mechanism of action involves binding to muscle fiber receptors, which subsequently causes a temporary cessation of muscle contraction.
Due to its special purification process, the effects of the product last significantly longer!
Indications for Refinex Administration:
Elimination of facial wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes
Eyebrow lift
Lifting the corners of the mouth to create the "Madonna smile" effect
Reduction of smoker’s lines above the upper lip
Nefertiti lift – improvement of the facial contour and neck
Correction of sagging cheeks ("bulldog cheeks")
Reduction of platysmal bands in the neck, eliminating the "turkey neck" effect
Decreasing the prominence of nasolabial folds
Lifting the nasal tip
Smoothing wrinkles on the décolletage
Reduction of masseter muscles for a slimmer face contour
Elimination of nasal wrinkles ("bunny lines")
Smoothing of a tense chin, correcting the "cobblestone chin" effect
Treatment of excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in the underarms, feet, and palms
Contraindications:
As with any injectable cosmetic treatment, a prior consultation with a cosmetologist and attending physician is required. The product should not be used in cases of:
Infectious or inflammatory processes at the injection sites
Infectious diseases accompanied by fever
Diabetes mellitus
Blood clotting disorders
Severe sagging of soft facial tissues
Oncological diseases
Pregnancy and lactation
A few days before the procedure, it is necessary to avoid heat-related treatments (such as saunas and steam baths), antibiotics, and medications that affect blood clotting. Alcohol and smoking should also be avoided, as they diminish the product’s effectiveness and cause swelling.
Procedure:
After cleansing the skin, the cosmetologist applies a numbing cream or gel, which takes 20-30 minutes to take effect, depending on the patient’s individual characteristics. The product is injected precisely into predetermined areas. The procedure itself takes 15-30 minutes.
Recovery:
The rehabilitation period lasts 7-10 days, during which the following should be avoided:
Any cosmetic procedures, including massages and peels
Any movements requiring bending forward, which could cause increased blood flow to the head
Heat treatments, such as hot baths, saunas, and steam rooms
Antibiotics and alcohol consumption
The product's packaging design may vary depending on the manufacturer.
