Botulinum Toxin — Wrinkle Smoothing

Botulinum toxin injections at Estetika by Medfima temporarily relax overactive facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet — producing a smoother, more rested appearance without affecting facial expression when correctly dosed. The clinic's licensed physicians also perform advanced applications: the Nefertiti neck lift for platysmal neck bands, masseter injections for jaw slimming, lip flip and gummy smile correction, and medical antiperspirant treatment for excessive sweating. Results emerge from day 2, reach full effect at 14 days, and last 3–6 months. A complimentary touch-up appointment is included at 2–3 weeks post-treatment.

Botulinum toxin (most commonly known by brand names such as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin) works by temporarily blocking the neuromuscular junction — the signal that tells a muscle to contract. Injected in precise, micro-dosed amounts into specific facial muscles, it selectively weakens the overactivity that causes dynamic wrinkles: the repeated contraction of the frontalis muscle that etches forehead lines, the corrugator and procerus muscles that form the glabellar 'frown' lines, and the orbicularis oculi that creates crow's feet with every smile or squint. The key to natural-looking results is precision dosing and accurate anatomical placement — hallmarks of a physician-administered procedure rather than a beautician-administered one. At Estetika by Medfima, all botulinum toxin treatments are performed exclusively by licensed medical doctors. MUDr. Motyčková Ph.D. and the aesthetic team use the lowest effective dose in each zone to smooth wrinkles while preserving the natural range of facial movement. Clients are advised that a small degree of residual expression is desirable and planned for — the goal is 'refreshed', not 'frozen'. The standard treatment areas are categorised into zones: zone 1 covers the forehead; zone 2 the glabellar complex (frown lines); zone 3 the periorbital area (crow's feet). Pricing is by zone, from 3 500 Kč for one area to 9 600 Kč for all zones across the full face. The Nefertiti lift (6 000 Kč) treats the platysmal bands of the neck, producing a subtle tightening effect along the jawline and neck — popular for clients who have had good facial results but notice neck laxity. Masseter injections (5 500 Kč) slim a widened lower face by reducing the bulk of the chewing muscles, a treatment particularly suited to those with bruxism (teeth grinding) causing facial squareness or jaw pain. The lip flip (1 900 Kč) places tiny amounts of toxin in the orbicularis oris to allow the upper lip to curl slightly outward — increasing lip appearance without adding volume — and gummy smile correction treats the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi to reduce how far the lip rises on smiling. Antiperspirant treatment (9 000 Kč) delivers toxin intradermally into the sweat-producing eccrine glands of the underarms, palms, or soles, reducing sweating by 80–90% for approximately 6–12 months. The procedure itself takes only a few minutes once the physician has mapped the injection points. Results begin from day 2 as the toxin takes effect; full smoothing is visible at 14 days. The clinic includes a complimentary 2–3 week review appointment to assess symmetry and administer any small touch-up dose required at no additional charge. Duration is typically 3–6 months, after which the muscle activity gradually returns and the client may choose to repeat treatment. Contraindications include hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin, blood-clotting disorders, active skin infection at the injection site, certain neuromuscular diseases (myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome), and pregnancy or breastfeeding. Post-procedure: remain upright for 4 hours; avoid alcohol for 48 hours; no exercise, saunas, or swimming for 3 days; no facial massage or manipulation for 14 days; makeup may be applied from day 2.
