Botulinum Toxin
Indications
Botulinum toxin (Botox) is recommended for people who want to reduce expression lines, such as crow's feet, forehead wrinkles, or frown lines. The treatment relaxes the muscles responsible for their formation, giving the face a younger and more relaxed appearance. The smoothing effect lasts from 4 to 6 months.
Botox is effective in treating excessive sweating of the armpits, hands, feet, and forehead. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the sweat glands, which significantly reduces sweat production. The effects of the treatment last for 6-12 months, significantly improving the patient's quality of life.
Botulinum toxin is recommended for patients suffering from bruxism, i.e., excessive clenching of the teeth and tension in the jaw muscles. The treatment reduces tension in the masseter muscles, relieving pain and protecting the teeth from damage. In addition, it can improve the shape of the lower part of the face, giving it a slimmer appearance.
Botox is used to gently lift the eyebrows and correct drooping corners of the mouth, giving the face a younger and more open appearance. Thanks to the precise administration of the toxin, the muscles responsible for these changes are weakened, and the effects are subtle and natural. It is an ideal treatment for people who want to improve the aesthetics of their face without going under the knife.
Operation
Botulinum toxin works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles, causing them to temporarily relax. This smooths out expression lines, such as those on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows, making the skin look younger and fresher. The effect appears within a few days after the treatment and lasts for about 3–6 months.
Application
Botulinum toxin is widely used to reduce wrinkles, lift eyebrows, and shape the face. It can also be used to treat aesthetic issues such as drooping corners of the mouth or a “gummy smile.” Thanks to its versatility, botulinum toxin allows for subtle corrections that emphasize natural beauty.
Safety and benefits
The botulinum toxin treatment is minimally invasive, quick, and safe when performed by an experienced specialist. The risk of complications is minimal, and the patient can return to their daily activities almost immediately after the procedure. The effects not only improve appearance but also increase self-confidence and comfort in everyday functioning.
