Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, precise doses of botulinum toxin to relax the muscles that create expression lines, softening frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet so the face looks rested while still natural. At Dermaestet the treatment is performed by the clinic's dermatology and aesthetic-medicine team as a quick, minimally invasive procedure with no incision and no recovery time. Results appear over a few days and the effect is reinforced when applications are repeated. A consultation is free if you go ahead with the treatment.

Anti-wrinkle injections 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. At Dermaestet the treatment is used above all in the upper half of the face — the vertical frown lines at the root of the nose (the glabella), horizontal forehead lines of surprise, and the lines around the eyes — and the dose is tailored to relax expression rather than freeze movement. For deeper static folds a filler may be combined for the area concerned. A session takes around fifteen to thirty minutes and usually needs no anaesthetic; the toxin is placed with a very fine needle after the muscles to be treated are assessed. Afterward you can return to normal activities the same day, while avoiding heat, lying flat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day to keep the product in place. Results begin to show after a few days and settle within about two weeks, and the effect commonly lasts several months before movement gradually returns; repeated applications tend to prolong the result. The treatment suits adults wanting to soften expression lines or to prevent their deepening. It is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and suitability and any contraindications are reviewed by the doctor beforehand. The free-if-you-proceed consultation (otherwise 600 Kč) is used to agree the areas and a realistic, natural-looking result.
