Botulinum Toxin (Anti-Wrinkle)

Botulinum toxin injections that soften the dynamic lines created by repeated facial expression, such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. Delivered by a physician within OrthoTeam's aesthetic-medicine service, the treatment relaxes the targeted muscles so the overlying skin creases less. Single, two- or three-area packages are available, and the same approach can be used on the masseter muscles to ease clenching and grinding (bruxism) — a natural fit for a dental practice.

Botulinum toxin is a purified protein that temporarily reduces the activity of the small muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines. When tiny, precisely placed doses ease how strongly these muscles contract, the skin above them folds less and existing lines soften over the following days. At OrthoTeam the treatment is carried out by a physician as part of the clinic's aesthetic-medicine service, beginning with an assessment of your facial movement to agree which areas to treat — most commonly the frown lines between the brows, the horizontal forehead lines and the crow's feet around the eyes, available as one, two or three-area packages. The injections take only a few minutes using a very fine needle, usually without anaesthetic, and you can return to normal activities the same day while avoiding lying flat, heat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day. Results are associated with a smoother, refreshed appearance that begins to show after a few days and settles within about two weeks, typically lasting a few months before movement gradually returns and a top-up can be considered. Because OrthoTeam is a dental practice, it also offers botulinum toxin for the masseter muscles — the strong chewing muscles at the angle of the jaw — which can help patients who clench or grind their teeth (bruxism) and may also slim a heavy jaw line; this is priced at 1,200 to 1,800 zł depending on the dose required. The treatment is for adults and is not given during pregnancy or breastfeeding; the physician reviews your medical history, suitability and any contraindications, and explains realistic expectations before proceeding.
