Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Anti-wrinkle injections use botulinum toxin to relax the muscles that create dynamic expression lines, softening frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. At Dermo-Estetic the treatment is performed by a doctor after assessing facial movement, with pricing set per treatment area. It is a quick procedure aimed at a smoother but still natural and expressive look, with effects that develop over the days following the appointment.

Botulinum toxin injections work by temporarily reducing the activity of selected facial muscles. When a muscle contracts less strongly, the skin above it folds less, so existing dynamic lines soften and new ones are slower to deepen. The most commonly treated zones are the frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and the crow's feet at the outer eyes, and the doctor agrees the specific areas after watching how the face moves. At Dermo-Estetic the procedure is carried out by a physician using a very fine needle, and a typical session takes only a short time. No general anaesthetic is needed; patients are usually advised to stay upright, avoid heat, alcohol and strenuous exercise, and not to rub the treated areas for the rest of the day. The effect is not immediate — movement begins to soften over several days and settles within about two weeks, after which the result is commonly maintained for a few months before muscle activity gradually returns and a repeat session can be considered. Pricing is per area, so a plan can be tailored to one zone or several. Suitability, realistic expectations and any contraindications — including pregnancy and breastfeeding, when the treatment is not performed — are reviewed with the doctor beforehand. The aim is a refreshed, rested appearance that keeps natural facial expression rather than a frozen look.
