Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin Type A)

Botulinum toxin type A is a purified protein that, in small doses, temporarily relaxes overactive muscles and softens the dynamic expression lines they create — most often the vertical frown lines between the brows, horizontal forehead lines and crow's feet at the outer eyes. At Medlift the injections can also address bunny lines on the sides of the nose and fine vertical 'smoker's lines' on the upper lip. The treatment is practically painless, minimally invasive and needs no special preparation, with effects that typically last several months.

Anti-wrinkle injections at Medlift use botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that in tiny, carefully placed amounts eases how strongly selected facial muscles contract. Because much of facial line formation comes from repeated movement, relaxing these muscles allows the overlying skin to crease less and existing dynamic lines to soften over the days that follow. The most commonly treated areas are the glabella (the frown lines between the eyebrows), the horizontal lines across the forehead and the crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes; the practice also treats bunny lines beside the nose and the fine vertical lines above the upper lip. Dr Chrzanowska assesses your facial movement first and agrees which areas to treat. The injections are given with a very fine needle, the procedure is practically painless and minimally invasive, and no special preparation is required, so you can usually return to your day afterward while avoiding heat, lying flat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Only high-quality toxin preparations are used, and each vial is opened in front of the patient immediately before treatment. Results generally become visible within several days, and the practice notes effects that typically last from around four to eight months depending on individual factors before movement gradually returns. Botulinum toxin combines particularly well with cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler, addressing both dynamic and static lines together for a more complete and longer-lasting rejuvenation. Suitability and any contraindications are reviewed beforehand; the treatment is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
