Botulinum Toxin (Botox)

Botulinum toxin wrinkle treatment at Laser Care works by selectively interrupting neuromuscular transmission in the targeted muscle. The toxin — a purified protein derived from Clostridium botulinum — is injected in a dilute solution through ultra-fine needles into specific muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines. At the neuromuscular junction, it prevents the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter that signals muscle contraction. Without…

MUDr. Šťastná conducts an individual assessment before each treatment, mapping the patient's facial movement patterns, the depth and distribution of expression lines, and the desired outcome — from a subtle softening that preserves expressive range to a more pronounced relaxation. This assessment determines the precise injection points and the dosage for each muscle group. The price is calculated per unit or per ml of product used rather than by a fixed…

The injection itself takes only a few minutes. Ultra-fine needles are used and no topical anaesthetic is needed for most areas — patients feel a brief mild pinprick at each injection point. Immediately after, the skin may show small red marks that resolve within minutes to hours; mild bruising at an injection point is possible. The botulinum toxin effect is not immediate: the muscle begins to relax over one to three days, reaching full effect at…
