One of the most effective methods is the injection of botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, which has been used in aesthetic dermatology for 25 years and is also very effective in the treatment of various diseases and conditions such as muscle spasms and cramps, screeching, headaches or sweating.

Effects

A protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum relaxes or temporarily reduces the activity of certain facial muscles, thereby immediately improving the appearance of the face, especially when laughing and wrinkling the forehead between the eyebrows. If expression lines remain accentuated after the procedure, we recommend choosing one of the additional therapies such as chemical peels, hyaluronic acid, sublative radiofrequency – eMatrix or fractionated CO2 laser.

After only one appointment

The results are visible for at least three months, usually six, sometimes even longer depending on the individual. It is very important to achieve consistency with a well thought out plan, so only a professional, after examining the skin and muscle function, can assess what amount of Botox you need for the best result. In difficult cases, we first inject safe areas where the effect cannot be too strong, and only during the second appointment add a few units in areas where the muscles are still overactive. This creates an individualised scheme that is repeated over time. Men usually need a slightly larger amount of Botox than women. Why? Your dermatologist will explain all this and more.
