Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that temporarily relax the small muscles behind dynamic expression lines of the upper face — horizontal forehead lines, the frown lines (mračivky) between the brows, and crow's feet (vějířky) around the eyes. At Estemedic the treatment is performed by physician MUDr. Ilona Karasová using a fine needle, with no downtime, so you can return to work the same day. Pricing starts from 2,500 Kč and is finalised at consultation according to the number of areas and units needed.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce how strongly specific facial muscles contract. The toxin blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, so the treated muscle relaxes and the overlying skin creases less; over the following days dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet may soften. At Estemedic the procedure is carried out by MUDr. Ilona Karasová, who first assesses your facial movement and agrees which areas to treat. The injection itself is quick, using a very fine needle, and the practice describes it as a walk-in, walk-out treatment after which you can return to work. Results are not immediate: the effect typically appears within seven to fourteen days as the muscle relaxes, and it generally lasts around six to eight months before gradually wearing off as nerve endings recover, after which the treatment can be repeated. Because dosing is individual, the number of areas and units — and therefore the final price from 2,500 Kč — is agreed at the prior consultation. Standard aftercare for botulinum toxin applies: avoid massaging or applying heat to the treated area, and avoid the sauna, solarium and intense exercise on the day of treatment, so the product settles where intended. Expect tiny puncture marks and possibly mild, short-lived redness; bruising is uncommon with a fine-needle technique. The treatment suits adults who want to soften upper-face expression lines while keeping natural movement; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the doctor reviews suitability and any contraindications beforehand.
