Botulinum Toxin Injections

Botulinum toxin type A temporarily relaxes overactive muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles — those caused by repeated facial movements such as frowning, squinting and smiling — and to treat medical concerns like hyperhidrosis. At Estetická klinika Hradec Králové, toxin is injected by qualified physicians across a wide range of facial zones (forehead, glabella, crow's feet, smoker's lines, chin, lip flip, gummy smile, Nefertiti lift, masseter) as well as underarms, palms and soles for excessive sweating. Effects appear within 2–7 days and typically last around 4 months, improving with consistent use.

Botulinum toxin type A is a purified neurotoxin that blocks the acetylcholine signal at the neuromuscular junction, preventing the targeted muscle from contracting. When injected in precise micro-doses into specific facial muscles, it selectively quiets the movements that cause wrinkle formation — without affecting sensation or non-targeted muscles nearby. At Estetická klinika Hradec Králové, the toxin is administered by medically trained physicians who map each patient's muscle anatomy before injection, ensuring natural-looking softening rather than a 'frozen' appearance. The clinic offers treatment across an unusually broad range of sites. Classic anti-ageing zones include the forehead (transverse lines), glabella (frown lines between brows) and crow's feet around the eyes. Beyond these, the team treats smoker's wrinkles around the lips, chin dimpling, bunny lines (nose scrunch), DAO (corners of mouth), lip flip for subtle upper-lip enhancement without filler, and gummy smile correction. More advanced applications include the Nefertiti lift — toxin along the jawline and platysmal bands of the neck to sharpen the jaw definition — and masseter injections to slim a wide or heavy lower face through muscle atrophy over 4–8 weeks. For hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), the toxin is injected intradermally into the underarm, palm or sole skin, blocking sweat gland stimulation for 6–9 months — significantly longer than the muscular effect. Sessions typically take 15–30 minutes. The first effects appear in 2–7 days; full effect at 2 weeks. Duration averages 4 months for facial applications, and repeated use is associated with longer intervals between sessions as muscles partially atrophy. The mandatory initial consultation (500 Kč) allows the physician to assess facial dynamics, discuss dose and choose treatment zones.
