Botulinum Toxin — Wrinkle Relaxation

Botulinum toxin injections at Beauty Clinic Synergy are administered by the clinic's aesthetic medicine physicians, Dr. Elena Stěpanová and MUDr. Olívia Reváková, using fine-gauge needles to deliver precise doses into target muscle groups. The toxin temporarily reduces the muscle contractions that drive dynamic wrinkles — forehead lines, glabellar frown lines and crow's feet — producing a smooth, rested appearance within a week of treatment. Each zone is mapped by the physician before injection, ensuring natural-looking movement is preserved. Results are visible for 3–6 months and typically extend in duration with repeat treatment.

Botulinum toxin wrinkle treatment at Beauty Clinic Synergy is a physician-only procedure: Czech law requires injectable aesthetic treatments to be performed under medical supervision, and the clinic fulfils this with two qualified aesthetic medicine doctors on the team. Dr. Elena Stěpanová brings a neurology background that gives her precise anatomical knowledge of facial motor nerve distribution — directly relevant to correctly placing botulinum toxin to achieve wrinkle relaxation without disrupting adjacent muscle function. MUDr. Olívia Reváková's ophthalmology training is similarly valuable for periorbital treatment, where proximity to the orbicularis oculi and levator palpebrae muscles demands careful dose mapping to avoid ptosis. The treatment mechanism is well-established: botulinum toxin type A binds irreversibly to the neuromuscular junction and blocks acetylcholine release, temporarily preventing muscle contraction. The targeted muscle relaxes; the overlying skin, no longer repeatedly folded by the movement, smooths progressively over 3–14 days. Full effect is visible at two weeks and typically lasts 3–6 months; successive treatments tend to produce longer-lasting results as the muscle gradually reduces in bulk from sustained disuse. The clinic treats the most common dynamic wrinkle zones: glabella (vertical frown lines between the brows), forehead (horizontal lines), lateral orbital (crow's feet), and neck platysma bands. Underarm hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is also treated using the same toxin injected into the sweat glands rather than muscles. Post-injection, patients are instructed to remain upright for four hours, avoid pressing or massaging the treated area for two days, and refrain from intense exercise, saunas and sun exposure for 14 days. Alcohol should be avoided for 24 hours before and after.
