Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum-toxin (Botox) injections soften dynamic expression lines by easing the muscles that create them — most commonly frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. At Ästhetik Institut Berlin the treatment is carried out by a specialist physician who assesses how your face moves so expression stays natural rather than frozen. Treatment is priced by the number of zones, with additional options for a brow lift, gummy smile, a Nefertiti neck lift, jaw-clenching (bruxism) and excessive sweating.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, carefully placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the pull of specific facial muscles. When those muscles contract less strongly, the overlying skin creases less and existing dynamic lines gradually soften over the following days. At Ästhetik Institut Berlin the appointment begins with the physician assessing your facial movement and agreeing which zones to treat — commonly the glabella (frown lines), forehead and the lateral eye area (crow's feet), with further options including a brow lift, a gummy-smile correction and a Nefertiti or platysma lift to soften neck banding. The injections take only a few minutes using a very fine needle, usually without anaesthetic, and most people return to normal activities the same day while avoiding heat, lying flat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Results typically begin to appear after a few days and settle within about two weeks, with the effect commonly lasting three to six months before muscle movement gradually returns and a repeat session may be considered. Beyond cosmetic line-softening, botulinum toxin is also used here for masseter (bruxism) treatment to ease jaw clenching and for focal hyperhidrosis to reduce excessive underarm sweating. The treatment is intended for adults who want a rested, still-expressive appearance; it is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the physician reviews your suitability, expectations and any contraindications at the consultation.
