Botulinum Toxin (Botox)

Softens expression lines

Procedure ~15 min · Effect lasts 4-6 months on average

Botulinum toxin (Botox) softens the lines caused by repeated facial movements while preserving a natural look. The aim is a rested, more youthful appearance without altering your facial expression; a natural look comes not from a high dose, but from placing the right amount in exactly the right spot. It is performed with very fine needles (microinjections), takes around 10-15 minutes, and you can return to your daily routine the same day. The effect begins within 3-4 days, settles fully in 10-14 days, and lasts an average of 4-6 months depending on your muscle strength.

Treatment Areas

Forehead and eye area

Deep forehead lines and the crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes are the most frequently requested areas; the dose is planned personally so that the natural height of the brow and the balance of the eyelid are preserved.

Between the brows (glabella)

Softens the frown lines that create a harsh, tired expression; this is one of the areas where Botox gives the highest patient satisfaction.

Masseter & Nefertiti lift

Reduces teeth clenching (bruxism) while slimming the jawline and refining the oval of the face; it also softens the platysmal bands of the neck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the procedure painful?

Because it is performed with very fine needles and a topical anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand, any sensation of pain is minimal.

Is Botox addictive?

No. When the effect wears off, the skin returns to how it was before the treatment rather than becoming worse; with regular treatments, the interval between sessions may even lengthen.

What should I be careful about afterwards?

Do not lie down or bend your head forward for the first 4 hours, and do not rub the area for the first 24 hours; avoid hot baths, saunas and strenuous exercise.
