Treatment with botulinum toxin is a minimally invasive solution for reducing mimic wrinkles. Botulinum toxin aims to relax muscle activity to achieve a smoother and more youthful skin appearance. The targeted injection of the toxin reduces muscle contractions, resulting in a reduction of visible wrinkles.
Treatment with botulinum toxin is suitable for people who want to reduce wrinkles caused by facial expressions, particularly in the forehead area, between the eyebrows and around the eyes. People with deeper wrinkles or other skin problems can benefit from alternative treatment methods, which can be discussed in a consultation.
After a series of botulinum toxin treatments, a reduction in expression lines and an overall smoother complexion can be expected. The results are usually visible after a few days to weeks and can last for several months.
The recommended duration and frequency of treatment with botulinum toxin can vary depending on individual goals, skin condition and other factors. However, several sessions at intervals of several months are usually required to achieve optimal results. The exact dosage and injection technique is determined on an individual basis.
Consulting:
Each treatment is preceded by a detailed consultation with an experienced specialist to discuss your individual needs and determine your suitability for treatment.
Allergy test:
An allergy test can be carried out to ensure that there is no allergic reaction to the botulinum toxin.
Avoidance of blood thinners:
After consultation with your doctor, blood-thinning medication should be avoided to reduce the risk of bruising.
Do not touch the treated area:
Avoid massaging or rubbing the treated area to prevent accidental displacement of the Botox.
Upright posture:
Avoid leaning forward or lying down for at least 4 hours after the treatment to prevent the Botox from sinking into other areas of the face.
Avoid strong facial expressions:
Avoid making strong facial expressions for the first few hours after treatment to ensure optimal distribution of the Botox.
No sport and no sauna:
Avoid intensive sports activities and sauna visits in the first 24 hours to minimize swelling.
No blood-thinning medication:
After consulting us, avoid taking blood-thinning medication to reduce the risk of bruising.
