Botulinum Toxin — Wrinkle Relaxation

Aaron Laser physicians administer botulinum toxin injections for wrinkle relaxation using fine-gauge needles that deliver a dilute solution in multiple small punctures across the target zone. The session takes only a few minutes and the effect emerges gradually over 3–14 days as the toxin temporarily reduces the muscle contractions that drive dynamic wrinkles. All three lead dermatologists at the clinic hold specialist certification, so dosing decisions are made by experienced physicians — not nursing staff. Common areas treated include forehead lines, the glabella (nose bridge frown lines) and crow's feet. The result typically lasts 6–8 months and tends to extend with successive treatments.

Botulinum toxin wrinkle treatment at Aaron Laser is performed exclusively by the clinic's specialist dermatologists — MUDr. Dagmar Kubicová, MUDr. Iva Karlová and their colleagues — all of whom hold board certification in dermatovenereology and are members of the Czech Academy of Dermatology. The toxin is prepared as a dilute solution and injected through very fine needles in a series of small puncture points across the selected muscle groups. The procedure is brief: the actual injection time is typically only a few minutes once the physician has mapped the treatment sites. You may feel a mild stinging at each puncture point; post-injection redness and micro-bruising are possible but resolve quickly. There is no downtime — most patients leave and return to normal activities immediately. The neuromuscular blockade develops over 3–14 days and reaches its full effect by two weeks. Treated muscles relax, reducing the depth of the overlying dynamic wrinkles without affecting the surrounding facial tissues when the dose and placement are precise. Results last on average 6–8 months, and repeated sessions over time tend to produce progressively longer-lasting effects as the underlying muscle gradually atrophies from disuse. The primary indications at this clinic are forehead horizontal lines, vertical glabellar frown lines (the '11s'), and lateral orbital crow's feet. After treatment, patients are instructed to remain upright for four hours, avoid rubbing or pressing the treated area, and practise gentle muscle movement for 30 minutes to encourage toxin uptake. Contraindications and suitability are assessed during the pre-treatment physician consultation.
