Facial Botox — Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Facial botox at Dermafit uses botulinum toxin type A to relax the small mimic muscles of the upper face so that dynamic wrinkles — the lines that deepen when you frown, raise your brows or squint — gradually smooth out. The toxin blocks the nerve signal that tells the muscle to contract, so the overlying skin creases less and existing lines soften. Because Dermafit is a dermatology clinic, every injection is performed by a physician who assesses the skin and underlying muscle pattern first, and the upper-face areas most suited to the treatment are the glabella (vertical frown lines), the horizontal forehead lines, and the crow's feet around the eyes. Injections are given through a very fine needle as a series of tiny punctures, and the product is priced transparently at 60 Kč per unit with area packages on the published price list. The effect develops over roughly two weeks and lasts three to six months, often becoming longer-lasting with repeat treatment.

Botulinum toxin type A is a purified neuromuscular agent that, in micro-doses, blocks the release of acetylcholine at the junction between nerve and muscle. The treated muscle relaxes, and because dynamic facial wrinkles are formed by the repeated contraction of these mimic muscles, the skin above them stops folding and the lines fade. It is the most established treatment for upper-face dynamic wrinkles worldwide. At Dermafit, facial botox is delivered by a dermatology-trained physician, which distinguishes it from injections performed by non-medical operators. The session begins with an assessment of the patient's muscle movement and skin condition, since a dermatologist is also screening the skin for unrelated pathology. The doctor marks the injection points and introduces the toxin into the target muscle through a thin needle as several fine punctures. The areas most commonly treated are the glabella — the vertical 'frown' lines between the eyebrows — the horizontal lines of the forehead, and the crow's feet that fan out from the outer corners of the eyes. The treatment is best suited to the upper third of the face. Results are not immediate: the effect develops gradually over approximately two weeks as the targeted muscles relax. The smoothing typically lasts three to six months after a first application, and the interval between treatments often lengthens with repeated sessions because the muscles become progressively less active. Pricing is transparent and unit-based: the toxin is 60 Kč per unit, with area packages from 2,400 Kč for the glabella or forehead and from 3,600 Kč for the crow's feet. The final dose, and therefore the final price, is agreed at consultation. Aftercare matters for an even result. For the rest of the treatment day patients are advised not to lie down or bend forward, to avoid exercise, massage and any facial cosmetic treatment, all of which could allow the toxin to migrate from the intended muscle. The treatment is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in the presence of a known allergy to botulinum toxin, or where there is an active infection at the injection site; suitability is confirmed by the physician at consultation.
