Botulinum Injections (Wrinkles & Excessive Sweating)

Physician-administered botulinum toxin at AMEM Zlín, priced transparently per unit (160 Kč) so you pay exactly for what is injected. Botulinum relaxes the mimetic muscles that crease the skin, smoothing forehead lines, frown lines between the brows and crow's feet while preserving natural expression when dosed correctly. The clinic's dermatology team also uses botulinum medically against excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis): injections into the underarms (12,500 Kč) or palms (16,500 Kč) block the nerve signal to sweat glands for many months. Effect builds over 3–7 days and typically lasts 3–6 months for wrinkles, often longer for sweating.

Botulinum toxin type A is the most widely used aesthetic medicine treatment worldwide — a purified protein that temporarily blocks the nerve-to-muscle signal in precisely targeted mimetic muscles. When the muscle stops contracting, the overlying dynamic wrinkle smooths out; with repeated treatment, even etched-in resting lines gradually soften. **Per-unit pricing:** AMEM bills botulinum at 160 Kč per unit rather than a flat zone price. The physician plans the dose per area at your appointment — lighter dosing keeps more movement, fuller dosing gives maximum smoothing — and you pay only for the units actually used. This makes small refresh treatments and asymmetry corrections economical. **Typical aesthetic targets:** horizontal forehead lines, glabellar frown lines ('elevens'), crow's feet around the eyes; smaller doses can also address a gummy smile, chin dimpling or downturned mouth corners as judged by the doctor. **Hyperhidrosis treatment:** For clients whose underarms or palms sweat excessively regardless of temperature, botulinum is injected intradermally in a grid across the affected zone, blocking the cholinergic signal to sweat glands. Underarm treatment (12,500 Kč) is quick and dramatically reduces sweating, typically for 6–9 months; palm treatment (16,500 Kč) is performed with topical numbing support. This is one of the most effective non-surgical answers to focal hyperhidrosis. **The appointment:** consultation and dose planning, cleansing, a series of tiny intradermal/intramuscular injections with an ultra-fine needle — most clients describe brief pinpricks. No downtime; avoid rubbing the area, lying flat, sport, sauna and alcohol for the rest of the day. Effect appears in 3–7 days, full effect at 2 weeks. **Contraindications:** pregnancy and breastfeeding, neuromuscular disorders (e.g. myasthenia gravis), infection at the injection site, allergy to the preparation. Results and longevity vary individually; repeat treatments are typically scheduled every 3–6 months.
