Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften the muscle movement behind dynamic expression lines — the vertical frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead creases and crow's feet at the outer eyes. At Dermamed the treatment is carried out by a physician after assessing how your face moves, so expression is relaxed rather than frozen. Single areas are priced individually, with finer options such as a brow lift, lip flip, gummy-smile softening, nose-tip lift and neck lines also offered.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, carefully placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce how strongly specific facial muscles contract. When those muscles relax, the overlying skin folds less and existing dynamic lines tend to soften over the following days. At Dermamed the appointment begins with a doctor assessing your facial movement and agreeing which areas to treat — most often the glabella (frown lines), forehead and the lateral eye area, with additional options including a subtle brow lift, a lip flip, gummy-smile softening, a nose-tip lift and Nefertiti-style neck lines. The injections themselves usually take around ten to fifteen minutes with a very fine needle, and most people return to normal activities the same day while avoiding heat, lying flat and vigorous exercise for the rest of that day. Results typically begin to appear after three to seven days and settle by about two weeks, with the effect generally lasting in the region of three to four months before movement gradually returns. The treatment is associated with a refreshed, still-expressive look and is popular as a maintenance treatment a few times a year. It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the doctor reviews your medical history and any contraindications at consultation before proceeding.
