Botulinum toxin injections at Brandeis Clinic are performed by MUDr. Lucie Kalinová — a certified botulinum toxin trainer in the Czech Republic, which places her at a higher proficiency level than standard practitioner certification. The treatment temporarily relaxes overactive facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles: frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines, and crow's feet at the eye corners. It can also slim the lower face by reducing masseter (jaw) muscle bulk, and treat perioral smoker's lines. The session takes only a few minutes per area. Results become visible in 3–5 days and typically last 4–6 months.
