Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum-toxin injections that relax the muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines — frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet around the eyes. At Ästhetische Medizin Stettin the treatment is performed by a physician after an assessment of which muscles to target, so movement is softened rather than frozen. Single areas or discounted two- and three-area combinations are available, with pricing based on the number of areas treated.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of specific facial muscles. By easing how strongly those muscles contract, the overlying skin creases less and existing dynamic lines soften over the following days. At this clinic the treatment begins with an assessment of your facial movement and a plan of the areas to treat — most commonly the glabella (frown lines), forehead and lateral eye area. The injections themselves take around ten to fifteen minutes using a very fine needle; no anaesthetic is usually required and you can return to normal activities the same day, avoiding lying flat, heat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Results begin to appear after three to seven days and settle by two weeks, typically lasting three to four months before movement gradually returns. Dr Katarzyna Wojtarowicz lists botulinum-toxin work among her core focuses, and the same toxin is also used at the clinic to treat teeth grinding (bruxism) and excessive sweating. Treatment is suitable for adults wanting a refreshed, still-expressive look; it is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the doctor reviews your suitability and any contraindications beforehand. The clinic includes anaesthetic and a post-treatment check at no extra charge.
