Botulinum Toxin in Puerto Vallarta
Botox Injection: smoothness, freshness, and natural expression
A quick, in-office procedure designed to smooth dynamic expression lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes, subtly restoring youth to your gaze.
What is facial Botox treatment?
Botulinum toxin injection is the most popular non-surgical treatment worldwide to smooth and prevent expression lines on the upper third of the face.
Our philosophy prioritizes a symmetric, precise, and natural application. We do not aim to artificially freeze your face. Dr. Uriel Muñoz performs a muscle mapping beforehand to identify the pulling force of your brows and your gesturing patterns, allowing him to inject precisely dosed units using fine needles that relax the muscle at its midpoint, achieving a fresh and rested look.
It is an excellent preventive aesthetic medicine option for younger patients who are starting to show dynamic wrinkles, and as an ongoing rejuvenating treatment for mature skin.
What it improves
- ✓Visible smoothing of forehead wrinkles and frown lines when gesturing
- ✓Reduction of fine lines around the eyes (crow's feet)
- ✓A more open, rested look and a refreshed facial appearance
What it does not improve
- •Very deep static wrinkles (visible when the face is completely at rest)
- •Loss of volume in the cheeks, lips, or nasolabial folds
- •Severe skin laxity in the neck or lower third of the face
Which areas do we treat?
Botulinum toxin is applied to strategic points based on each patient's anatomical needs:
Frontalis Muscle
Smooths the horizontal lines that form when raising the eyebrows excessively, maintaining a harmonious brow height.
Corrugator and Procerus Muscle Complex
Minimizes the vertical frown lines that can make you look angry, tense, or worried.
Orbicularis Oculi Muscle
Softens the dynamic lines on the outer corners of the eyes that become pronounced when smiling.
You may be a candidate if...
- ✓You are starting to develop fine lines on your forehead or between your brows when gesturing (preventive treatment).
- ✓You want to refresh your look quickly and non-surgically, with zero downtime.
- ✓You want to soften harsh or angry features caused by involuntary muscle contraction.
- ✓You have no contraindications, such as active facial infections, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
We should consider alternatives if...
- •You want to add volume to your lips or fill deep nasolabial folds; this requires hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, not Botox.
- •You have severe skin laxity and sagging; the ideal treatment is a surgical facelift.
- •You are pregnant or breastfeeding; treatment is contraindicated under medical safety protocols.
How we plan your treatment
A preliminary clinical evaluation is essential. We analyze your facial muscle anatomy, existing expression asymmetries, and safely determine the correct dosage of units to inject.
We analyze your brows and expression when smiling, frowning, or showing surprise to identify muscle contraction strength.
We conservatively dose the botulinum toxin units to ensure a natural-looking result.
We review your medical history and current medications to prevent any unfavorable drug interactions.

Botox treatment cost: what determines it
The cost of botulinum toxin treatment should not be generalized. The session's cost depends on the number of units required for your specific case.
During your in-office evaluation, Dr. Uriel Muñoz will assess the strength of your facial muscles and determine the recommended number of units. The final cost depends on the following factors:
- •Number of areas to be treated (Forehead, frown lines, crow's feet).
- •Muscle contraction strength (stronger muscles require more units).
- •The brand of medical-grade botulinum toxin selected.
- •The follow-up and symmetry touch-up session at 14 days.
