Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften the dynamic expression lines created by repeated muscle movement — frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet at the outer eyes. At Jurenko Clinic the treatment is performed by a physician after a short assessment of how your face moves, with the dose tailored so expression is relaxed rather than frozen. Single areas or discounted two- and three-area combinations are available.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, carefully placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of specific facial muscles. By easing how strongly those muscles contract, the overlying skin creases less and existing dynamic lines look softer over the days that follow. At Jurenko Clinic the appointment begins with a physician assessing your facial movement and agreeing the areas to treat — most often the glabella (frown lines), forehead and the lateral eye area, with finer adjustments such as a brow lift or a softening of the chin discussed where appropriate. The injections themselves take around ten to fifteen minutes using a very fine needle, and most patients need no anaesthetic. You can return to normal activities the same day, while avoiding lying flat, heat, saunas and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Effects begin to appear after about three to seven days and settle within two weeks, typically lasting three to four months before muscle movement gradually returns and a top-up can be considered. The clinic works to a principle of facial proportion and naturalness, so the aim is a refreshed, still-expressive look rather than a heavily treated one. The treatment is intended for adults; it is not carried out during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the physician reviews your suitability and any contraindications before proceeding.
