Botulinum toxin (Botox)
Botox treatment enjoys great popularity in aesthetic medicine. Botulinum toxin, which is injected into the muscles, has the ability to temporarily inhibit their activity. This can reduce or smooth disturbing wrinkles and lines on the face.
Botox treatment involves the targeted injection of botulinum toxin into the affected muscle areas using fine needles. The most common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet around the eyes. The toxin blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles, resulting in temporary relaxation.
The treatment itself is usually quick and relatively painless. In some cases, a local anesthetic cream may be applied before the injection to minimize possible discomfort. After the treatment, there may be slight redness or swelling, but this usually subsides quickly.
The effect of Botox usually occurs within a few days, the full effect unfolds after two weeks. The muscles relax and wrinkles are reduced or even disappear completely. The result is a fresher and more youthful facial expression. The effect of Botox usually lasts up to 6 months, after which the muscle function gradually returns to normal, and a new treatment can be performed in consultation with our doctor.
