BOTULINUM TOXIN

BTX is one of the most popular aesthetic medicine procedures. It is used to relax the muscles responsible for facial expressions, which significantly reduces facial wrinkles. The procedure is short and safe, and the risk of complications is negligible if performed by an experienced person.
What age is it best to start using the treatment? Opinions seem to be split, we assume that prevention is better than cure, so we recommend our Clients the treatment when the first mimic wrinkles appear, because at that time we can completely eliminate them and prevent their deepening. At the age of 40-50, when the wrinkles are already fixed, treatment will make them shallower but not eliminate them.
Treatment power can be adjusted – you can reduce wrinkles with a natural facial expression without a mask effect or completely block the work of the muscles responsible for wrinkles, thus creating the effect of perfectly smooth skin.

APPLICATION OF BOTULINUM TOXIN

FOREHEAD WRINKLES

On the forehead, we distinguish horizontal wrinkles, which are accentuated when we make a surprised face, and vertical wrinkles, such as the lion’s wrinkle between the eyebrows. With the injections, we can easily relax facial muscles of the forehead, thus removing unsightly wrinkles. We can also elevate the eyebrows slightly, adding a youthful touch to the face and visually opening the eye.

CROW'S FEET

Crow’s feet are usually the first wrinkles that appear at a very young age. They are located around the eyes and accentuate when smiling. They often cause unsightly make-up clumping. Their elimination is very simple – just a few injections. The muscles around the eye relax and the crow’s feet disappear. It can also be successfully used to reduce fine wrinkles under the eyes.

OTHER WRINKLES

The treatment has many applications. It removes rabbit wrinkles, which are located at the base of the nose, smoker’s wrinkles around the mouth, smooths out marionette lines running from the mouth to the chin.
It can also be used to elevate the corners of the mouth, smooth out marbled chin, or “holes” caused by excessive muscle tension, and eliminate the effect of a turkey neck with strongly visible, tense tendons.

BEFORE AND AFTER GALLERY

Effects may be different in different persons. It depends on natural physiognomy and the amount and technique of botulinum toxin administration. During the consultation, yoy can inform about your expectations and together we'll determine the best treatment plan.

PROCEDURE

During the consultation, we discuss the expected effect and chose the best method for the Patient. Before the treatment an anaesthetic ointment is applied, which significantly reduces pain sensations – the injections feel similar to mosquito bites. During the procedure botulinum toxin is injected with a very thin needle into the appropriate part of the muscle.

RECOVERY

Redness, which usually occurs after injections at the injection site, disappears within a day. For several hours after the procedure, the Patient should not to lie down or make sudden movements of the head, so as not to dislocate the preparation. For two days the Patient should not use the sauna and solarium, as well as heat the place of treatment.
The effects of muscle relaxation usually begin to appear after about 3-4 days, and the full effect is visible after two weeks.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE?

The procedure does not require much preparation.

Do not consume alcohol, caffeine or drugs 24 hours before the procedure.

One week before the procedure, do not take common painkillers, as they thin the blood and may cause more bruising after insertions. Garlic and onion have a similar effect.

If you take NSAIDs, talk to your GP and ask if you can discontinue them two weeks before your procedure. If your GP refuses, don’t discontinue your medication on your own! The procedure can still be performed, but you must expect more bruising.

Two weeks before the procedure, you can start taking vitamin C, which will strengthen capillary walls and thus reduce formation of bruises.

EFFECT

The effects appear within a few days and its full potential is visible after two weeks. In case of wrinkle therapy, the effect is smoothing of mimic muscles, shallowing of folds and inhibition of excessive facial expression.Effects usually last from 3 to 9 months, on average about 6 months.
Is it possible to become immune to the effects of botox? Yes, people who frequently use it may produce antibodies and immunisation causing the effect to disappear quickly. In this situation, there are two options – you can take a one-year break or change the type of preparation used for the treatment.
