Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften expression lines by relaxing the muscles that create them — typically frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet. At ArtisMed carefully calibrated microdoses are used to ease movement while keeping a natural look. The treatment takes minutes, needs no downtime, and is performed after an assessment of which muscles to target so the result is refreshed rather than frozen.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of specific facial muscles. By interrupting the nerve signal that tells a muscle to contract, the treatment eases the repeated creasing that forms dynamic wrinkles, so the overlying skin smooths and existing lines soften over the following days. The most commonly treated areas are the glabella (frown lines), the forehead and the crow's feet around the eyes. At ArtisMed the treatment begins with an assessment of how your face moves and a discussion of the look you want, so the right muscles and a suitable dose are chosen — the clinic emphasises calibrated microdoses for a natural, still-expressive result rather than a frozen one. The injections take around ten to fifteen minutes using a very fine needle, usually without anaesthetic, and you can return to normal activities the same day while avoiding heat, vigorous exercise and lying flat for the rest of it. Results begin to show after three to seven days and settle by two weeks, typically lasting three to four months before muscle movement gradually returns and a top-up can be considered. Temporary small bumps, redness or the occasional bruise at injection points are normal and short-lived. The treatment suits adults wanting to soften frown, forehead or eye lines; it is not given during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the injector reviews your suitability and any contraindications beforehand.
