Botulinum Toxin or Botox
Botox is a popular solution for quickly and safely reducing fine lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. The use of botulinum toxin also allows for lifting age-related drooping eyebrows and smoothing downward-curving corners of the mouth. Botox is also highly effective in reducing excessive sweating in the underarms and palms, offering a broad range of applications to improve quality of life.

About the Procedure
- Injecting botulinum toxin is a non-surgical procedure. It temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause frowning and wrinkling of the skin.
- In addition to facial wrinkles and excessive sweating, botulinum toxin can also reduce vertical neck bands caused by the platysma muscle.
- Before the treatment, we’ll discuss the possibilities and your expectations.
- The procedure takes about 15–20 minutes and is nearly painless. Results become visible after approximately one week.
- No recovery time is needed – you can return to work or other activities immediately after the treatment.
- After botulinum toxin (Botox) therapy, the appearance is not artificial, but rather rested and refreshed.
- The effects typically last 4–8 months, after which we recommend a follow-up treatment to maintain results.
- We use only the highest-quality products from world-renowned manufacturers such as Dysport® and Vistabel®.
Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Botulinum toxin is completely safe in the hands of an experienced, licensed provider, and adverse effects are extremely rare. Before the procedure, we’ll discuss options and expectations. During the consultation, please inform us about any allergies, chronic illnesses, or other health conditions. In some cases, such as autoimmune diseases like myasthenia gravis or neurological conditions like ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), botulinum toxin treatment is contraindicated.
That’s not true. Botulinum toxin can still be used safely and effectively even if you have microbladed eyebrows. The only requirement is that at least one month has passed since the eyebrow treatment.
Absolutely. Botulinum toxin is applied in very small amounts to precisely targeted muscles. Our goal is always a natural look. You will be able to move your face just like before – you’ll simply look more refreshed and relaxed.
Botulinum toxin and fillers are two completely different treatments. Botulinum toxin is injected into specific facial muscles to reduce excessive movement, helping the skin wrinkle less. It’s most effective for frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Fillers are used to restore volume and reshape sunken cheeks, thin lips, and deep facial folds. For optimal results, both treatments are often combined.
