Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)

Botulinum toxin injections that relax the small muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines, softening forehead creases, frown lines between the brows and crow's feet around the eyes. At Mediclaser the treatment is carried out under physician supervision after a short medical interview, with most facial areas priced per zone. The same protein is also used to calm an 'orange-peel' chin, soften platysmal neck bands and to reduce excessive underarm sweating for patients troubled by hyperhidrosis.

Anti-wrinkle injections use tiny, precisely placed doses of botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce how strongly selected facial muscles contract. Because much facial lining is caused by repeated movement, easing that movement allows the overlying skin to crease less, and existing dynamic lines tend to soften over the following days. At Mediclaser the appointment begins with a medical interview to confirm suitability and agree which areas to treat — most commonly the forehead, the glabella (frown lines) and the lateral eye area, with finer options such as an 'orange-peel' chin or a Nefertiti-style neck treatment also offered. The injections themselves take only a few minutes using a fine needle, and most people return to normal activities the same day while avoiding heat, lying flat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Results typically begin to appear after several days and settle over about two weeks, with the effect generally associated with a duration of three to four months before movement gradually returns. The same toxin is used in a higher dose to treat underarm hyperhidrosis, where it may help reduce excessive sweating for several months at a time. Treatment is intended for adults wanting a refreshed but still expressive look and is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding; the supervising physician reviews your history and any contraindications before proceeding.
