Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that ease the muscles driving dynamic expression lines — horizontal forehead creases, the vertical 'lion's' frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet at the eye corners. At Esthe the treatment is carried out by a physician after assessing how your face moves, so the aim is a softened, still-natural expression rather than a frozen look. Single areas start at 750 zł, with combined forehead-and-eye plans also offered for patients treating several zones in one visit.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, carefully placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce how strongly selected facial muscles contract. When those muscles relax, the skin above them folds less and existing dynamic lines tend to soften over the following days. At Esthe the appointment begins with a physician reviewing your facial movement and agreeing which areas to treat — most often the horizontal forehead lines, the vertical glabellar 'lion's' frown lines, and the crow's feet at the outer eyes. The injections take only a few minutes using a fine needle, and most people return to their day straight afterwards while avoiding heat, vigorous exercise and lying flat for the rest of the day. Effects usually begin to appear within several days and continue to settle over about two weeks; the result is generally associated with a duration of a few months before muscle movement gradually returns, after which the treatment can be repeated. The clinic prices single areas individually and also offers combined plans, such as the full forehead together with crow's feet, for patients addressing more than one zone. Botulinum toxin is also used here for bruxism, where it is injected into the jaw muscles to ease teeth-grinding and clenching. Suitability, realistic expectations and any reasons to avoid treatment — including pregnancy and breastfeeding — are reviewed by the doctor before any injection.
