Botulinum Toxin (Anti-Wrinkle Injections)

Botulinum toxin injections relax the muscles that create dynamic expression lines, softening frown lines between the brows, forehead lines and crow's feet so the face looks rested while still expressive. At DermaConcept the treatment is performed by a dermatologist who is an international trainer in botulinum toxin, and can be tailored from a single area to several, plus finer applications such as a gummy smile, neck bands, masseter slimming or Mesobotox. Results appear over a few days and typically last three to four months.

Anti-wrinkle injections use tiny, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the contraction of specific facial muscles. When those muscles work less forcefully, the overlying skin creases less and existing dynamic lines gradually soften over the days that follow. The most commonly treated zones are the glabella (vertical frown lines between the brows), the horizontal forehead lines and the crow's feet at the outer eyes, but the same principle is used for a range of finer concerns. At DermaConcept the treatment is carried out by MUDr. Martina Neradová Richterová, a dermatologist who trains other physicians in botulinum toxin internationally, so dosing is tailored to relax expression rather than freeze it. The appointment begins with assessing how your face moves and agreeing the areas to treat. The toxin is then injected with a very fine needle, usually without anaesthetic, in a procedure that takes only around ten to fifteen minutes. Beyond the classic upper-face lines, options include softening a gummy smile, smoothing vertical platysmal bands in the neck, slimming a heavy or clenching jaw by treating the masseter muscles, and Mesobotox — superficial micro-droplets that refine pores and surface texture rather than abolish movement. Afterward you can return to normal activities the same day, while avoiding heat, lying flat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Results begin to show after a few days and settle within about two weeks, with the effect commonly lasting three to four months before movement gradually returns and a repeat session can be considered. The treatment suits adults wanting a refreshed but natural look; it is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and suitability and contraindications are reviewed by the doctor beforehand.
