Botulinum Toxin
an effective solution for expression lines
What is botulinum toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin synthesized by specific bacteria – Clostridium Botulinum. In aesthetic medicine, botulinum toxin is widely used to eliminate wrinkles and relax facial muscles, thereby preventing the formation of new wrinkles and smoothing existing ones.
The procedure is among the most preferred rejuvenation methods, thanks to its safety, effectiveness, and rapid action.
How does botulinum toxin work?
Botulinum toxin blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to muscle fibers, leading to their temporary relaxation. This allows the skin to remain smooth and firm, without the unwanted wrinkles caused by facial expressions. The result is a naturally refreshed face with a rested and youthful appearance.
Which areas of the face is the procedure suitable for?
Botulinum toxin is most effective in treating expression lines in the upper part of the face:
Forehead wrinkles (horizontal expression lines);
“Frown lines” between the eyebrows (also known as “glabellar lines”);
Wrinkles around the eyes (crow's feet);
Brow lift for a more open and expressive look.
How Does the Procedure Work?
The botulinum toxin procedure is quick and painless. The specialist cleanses the face and determines the injection points. Botulinum toxin is applied with a fine needle in minimal amounts to achieve a natural result. The entire procedure takes about 15 minutes, and the patient can immediately return to their daily routine without the need for a recovery period.
When does the effect appear and how long does it last?
The first results of botulinum toxin injection are noticeable within 72 hours after the procedure. The maximum effect occurs after 14 days, and its duration is between 4 and 6 months. With regular application, the effect can be extended to 8-12 months, preventing wrinkles from deepening.
