Botox (botulinum toxin) is a naturally derived protein that temporarily relaxes muscles by blocking the nerve-to-muscle signal transmission. In aesthetic medicine, it is used specifically to reduce expression lines while preserving the natural look of facial expressions. Botox treatments are quick, minimally invasive procedures and offer an excellent alternative for those seeking a more youthful, refreshed appearance without surgery.
Botox offers solutions not only for classic forehead lines and crow’s feet. It can also be used to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, nasal bridge wrinkles, and the dimpled texture of the chin. Moreover, it is effective in managing jaw muscle overactivity and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). The injection is precisely administered to selected points, preventing over-relaxation of muscles and ensuring a natural-looking result.
Many people fear that Botox will erase their facial expressions. In reality, modern techniques and accurate dosing make it possible to maintain a vibrant appearance while eliminating unwanted lines. The goal is refinement, not erasure. In skilled hands, Botox doesn’t freeze the face but enhances its youthful, balanced character.
It blocks the nerve-muscle connection, preventing the targeted muscle from contracting.
As a result, the skin over the treated area smooths out.
Visible effects begin within 3–10 days and last approximately 3–6 months.
Fast, outpatient procedure (10–20 minutes)
Non-surgical solution
No recovery time needed
Natural, refreshed appearance
Prevents the development of deeper wrinkles
Versatile uses: facial aesthetics, sweat reduction, jaw muscle relaxation
A personal consultation takes place before the procedure. The aesthetic expert assesses facial muscle activity, discusses expectations, and excludes any contraindications.
In addition to agreeing expectations, an artificial intelligence-assisted facial diagnostic analysiswill be carried out to provide objective data to accurately assess skin and muscle tone.
Based on the results, an individualised treatment protocolwill be drawn up, taking into account the anatomical characteristics and possible contraindications. The aim is to achieve a natural, harmonious and safe result.
The Botox solution is injected with a fine needle into the target muscle beneath the skin. The treatment is quick and causes only minimal discomfort. No anesthesia is required.
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site
Temporary headache
Rarely, temporary asymmetry that resolves within a few days
The final effect becomes noticeable within 7–10 days: the skin appears smoother, and the eyes look more open and relaxed. Facial expressions remain intact, only tension is reduced.
Botulinum toxin temporarily pauses muscle activity at the injection points, preventing the repetitive folding of the skin in those areas. This smooths out existing lines and slows the formation of deeper creases.
Women and men aged 25 and over
Individuals with expression lines or tense facial appearance
Those seeking a non-invasive, quick rejuvenation method
People who want to prevent deep wrinkle formation
Those experiencing excessive sweating or jaw clenching
Botox effects last approximately 3–6 months. With repeated treatments, muscle movement lessens over time, significantly reducing the formation of wrinkles.
When is Botox not recommended?
During pregnancy or breastfeeding
In cases of neuromuscular disorders
If there is active skin inflammation or infection in the treatment area
Can Botox be combined with other treatments?
Yes, it is often paired with hyaluronic acid fillers, thread lifting, or mesotherapy as part of a comprehensive facial aesthetic plan.
How soon can the treatment be repeated?
Botox is typically recommended every 4–6 months, depending on the type of wrinkles and muscle response.
