Botulinum Toxin: Beyond Aesthetics — Medical & Rejuvenation Benefits with Dr. Susana Fontana at Hazel Clinic
Botulinum toxin is widely recognised for its ability to soften wrinkles and rejuvenate the face. However, its benefits go far beyond aesthetics. When used correctly and under medical supervision, botulinum toxin plays a vital role in treating several medical and functional conditions, while also enhancing facial harmony and confidence.
At Hazel Clinic, all botulinum toxin treatments are performed by Dr. Susana Fontana, whose expertise as a medical doctor and experienced injector ensures natural, precise and safe results, tailored to each patient’s anatomy and needs.
The Importance of Appearance & Wellbeing
Feeling comfortable with our appearance has a direct impact on self-esteem, confidence and emotional wellbeing. Facial tension, deep expression lines or imbalance can make us look tired, stressed or older than we feel.
Botulinum toxin allows us to:
Soften expression lines while preserving natural movement
Restore a refreshed, rested appearance
Improve facial balance and proportions
Enhance confidence without changing identity
At Hazel Clinic, the goal is refinement, not transformation.
Medical Uses of Botulinum Toxin
One of the most important aspects of botulinum toxin is its medical versatility.
1. Chronic Migraines
Botulinum toxin can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines by relaxing overactive muscles and reducing nerve stimulation.

Aesthetic & Rejuvenation Benefits
Facial Rejuvenation

Results are subtle, balanced and natural when performed by an experienced injector like Dr. Susana Fontana.
Neck Lines & Platysmal Bands
Botulinum toxin can improve the appearance of:

Fine neck lines
Loss of definition
This creates a smoother, more youthful neck profile without surgery.
Jawline Definition

This is particularly beneficial for patients with bruxism or facial tension.

Chin dimpling (“orange peel” texture)
Lower face tension
Facial balance and harmony
Small, precise doses can make a significant difference.
Why Technique & Injector Expertise Matter
Botulinum toxin is as much an art as it is a medical treatment. The difference between a frozen appearance and a natural, refreshed result lies in:
Anatomical knowledge
Injection technique
Product placement
Dose control
Dr. Susana Fontana is recognised for her precise, conservative and medically informed approach, ensuring results that enhance — never overpower — the face.
