Beauty injections

Botulinum injections (so-called botox) reduce wrinkles caused by movements of the facial muscles with the aim of achieving a naturally younger and fresher look. The effect of botulinum also makes the skin smoother and the pores smaller. In addition, it is possible to make the shape of the face narrower by reducing the activity of the chewing muscles and highlight the jaw line by relaxing the platysma.

Botulinum injections contain botulism toxin, which relaxes the muscles and temporarily weakens their activity. Since many wrinkles are caused by the active work of the facial muscles, by weakening the activity of these muscles with small intramuscular or intradermal injections, facial wrinkles are smoothed out.

Botulinum injections can reduce

• horizontal wrinkles on the forehead
• the so-called evil wrinkle between the eyebrows
• wrinkles in the eye area
• nasal horizontal wrinkles, the so-called bunny lines
• nose flare
• wrinkles around the mouth
• sunken corners of the mouth
• a rough chin
• horizontal wrinkles on the neck
• muscle lines of the neck, the so-called turkey neck
• exposure of the gums when smiling, the so-called gummy smile
• reduce teeth grinding
• also correct the front part of the jawline and highlight the jawline (Nefertiti’s neck)
• turn the lower part of the face narrower (masticator muscle)
• raise your eyebrows, tip of nose and upper lip (lip flip)
• reduce excessive sweating

 The effect lasts until the transmissions and muscle activity are restored – on average 3-6 months. It depends on the characteristics of the person, injected doses, physical activity, etc. Then the muscle work is restored and the wrinkles on the skin come back, but with consistent injections they can be smoothed out.

Today’s approach to aesthetic medicine is based on maximising and preserving natural beauty. The goal is not an emotionless face but a more youthful and fresh look, maintaining minimal facial expressions. During the consultation before the procedure, the specialist selects the appropriate amounts and injection sites for your face.
