Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften the dynamic expression lines created by repeated muscle movement — horizontal forehead lines, the vertical frown between the brows and crow's feet at the outer eyes. At Kamed Estetyka the treatment is performed by an aesthetic-medicine physician after assessing how your face moves, so expression is relaxed rather than frozen. Each area is priced individually, with a smaller chin-smoothing option also available for dimpling of the chin.

Anti-wrinkle injections use small, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the activity of the muscles responsible for dynamic facial lines. When those muscles contract less strongly, the overlying skin creases less and established expression lines tend to soften over the days that follow. At Kamed Estetyka the appointment begins with a physician assessing your facial movement and agreeing which areas to treat — most commonly the forehead, the glabella (the lion's frown between the brows) and the lateral eye area, each priced as a separate region. The injections take only a few minutes using a very fine needle, and most people need no anaesthetic and return to normal activities the same day, avoiding lying flat, heat and strenuous exercise for the rest of the day. Results typically begin to appear within a few days and settle over about two weeks, with the effect generally lasting three to four months before muscle movement gradually returns. A separate lower-dose option is offered for dimpling of the chin caused by an overactive mentalis muscle. The treatment is intended for adults who want a refreshed, still-expressive appearance; it is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the doctor reviews your suitability and any contraindications beforehand.
