Botulinum Toxin Injections (Anti-Wrinkle)

Botulinum toxin works at the neuromuscular junction by blocking the release of acetylcholine — the chemical signal that triggers muscle contraction. When injected in a precisely calibrated dose into a specific facial muscle, that muscle relaxes, and the skin above it stops creasing with expression. The effect is entirely reversible: as the toxin is gradually metabolised over three to six months, normal nerve signalling resumes. With successive treatment…

At Artmedica Clinic in Prague's Old Town, botulinum toxin injections are administered by MUDr. Kateřina Adamcová or MUDr. Alena Stumpfová. The physician maps facial muscle activity before injection — observing how the brow rises, where the frown engages, the exact distribution of crow's feet at full smile — to determine injection placement, depth and precise dose per muscle. Ultra-fine needles are used; the typical session covers one to four areas in…

Areas routinely treated at Artmedica include: horizontal forehead lines (frontalis muscle), vertical frown lines between the brows (corrugator and procerus), crow's feet (orbicularis oculi), nasal bunny lines, lip smoker's lines (perioral orbicularis), drooping mouth corners (depressor anguli oris), chin dimpling (mentalis), neck bands (platysma — the 'Nefertiti lift'), jaw masseter (reduction for bruxism and face-slimming) and brow lift (lateral…
