Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften dynamic expression lines — frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet around the eyes. At Dr Luch the treatment is performed by a physician after assessing how your face moves, so expression is relaxed rather than frozen. Single areas, discounted two- and three-area combinations, and a lighter 'baby botox' dose are available depending on how much movement you want to keep.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, carefully placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of the muscles that crease the skin during expression. As those muscles relax over the following days, the overlying lines soften and the skin looks smoother and more rested. At Dr Luch the treatment starts with a physician assessing your facial movement and agreeing which areas to treat — most often the glabella (frown lines), forehead and the area around the eyes, with finer adjustments possible for the brow position or a softer 'baby botox' result. The injections take around ten to fifteen minutes using 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 the day. The effect typically begins after three to seven days and settles within about two weeks, generally lasting three to four months before movement gradually returns and a repeat session can be considered. Treatment is intended for adults who want a fresher, still-expressive appearance; it is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The physician reviews your suitability, discusses realistic results and explains any contraindications before proceeding, in keeping with the clinic's emphasis on subtle, natural outcomes.
