Botulinum Toxin — Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Botulinum toxin injections at BODY klinika that temporarily relax the muscles creating dynamic expression lines — frown lines between the brows (glabella), horizontal forehead lines, and crow's feet around the eyes. Administered by a physician, with a typical session using around 25 units. Effect lasts three to six months and tends to extend with repeat treatments over time. Results begin emerging within three to seven days of treatment. Minimal discomfort, no downtime, and return to non-strenuous work the next day. From 2,600 Kč per treatment area.

Botulinum toxin type A works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, temporarily preventing the target muscle from contracting with full force. Applied to the muscles responsible for dynamic facial lines, this reduces the repetitive creasing of the overlying skin that drives the formation of permanent wrinkles over time. At BODY klinika, botulinum toxin is administered by physicians who assess facial movement before treatment to determine the optimal dose distribution for softening lines while preserving natural expression. The three most commonly treated areas are the glabellar complex (the corrugator and procerus muscles between the brows that form vertical frown lines), the frontalis muscle across the forehead (horizontal lines), and the orbicularis oculi at the lateral eye corners (crow's feet). Areas may be treated individually or in combination; a typical appointment covers all three with approximately 25 units in total. The physician selects the number of injection points and units per point based on individual muscle mass and the severity of the lines. Injections take ten to fifteen minutes. A very fine needle is used; discomfort is minimal and no anaesthetic is required. Results begin to emerge three to seven days after treatment and settle at two weeks. The effect is associated with a duration of three to six months in most patients, though individual metabolism, physical activity level, and sun exposure affect longevity. Some patients find that with repeated treatments the effect becomes more durable as the muscles adapt to reduced activity. A small proportion of patients develop neutralising antibodies to the protein with repeated applications, reducing effectiveness over time. The clinic notes this as a known phenomenon and advises patients at consultation. From 2,600 Kč per area.
