Botulinum Toxin (Botulotoxin / Botox)

Botulinum toxin at Plastická chirurgie A-Z Olomouc is injected by specialist plastic surgeons to temporarily relax overactive facial muscles responsible for expression lines. The treatment targets the forehead horizontal lines, glabellar frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet at the outer eye corners — the three most common upper-face areas. Per-unit pricing at 45 Kč means a full upper-face treatment costs approximately 1,800–2,700 Kč — transparent and proportional to what is actually used. Results onset in 3–7 days and last 3–5 months.

Botulinum toxin type A selectively blocks neuromuscular transmission by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at motor nerve terminals. Injected into specific facial muscles, it temporarily reduces or eliminates the contraction of those muscles, smoothing the overlying dynamic wrinkles — lines caused by repeated muscle movement rather than static skin ageing. At Plastická chirurgie A-Z, the injections are administered by MUDr. Zálešák or MUDr. Stehlík — board-certified plastic surgeons whose anatomical training covers facial musculature in detail, including the thin orbicularis oculi, corrugator supercilii, frontalis, and procerus muscles that are the primary targets for upper-face botulinum toxin. Precise placement by a surgeon familiar with the three-dimensional anatomy of these muscles reduces the risk of side effects such as brow ptosis (drooping) or eyelid heaviness that can result from imprecise injection. The 45 Kč per-unit pricing is transparent and allows patients to understand exactly what they are paying for. Most treatments use: - Horizontal forehead lines: 15–20 units - Glabellar complex (the '11 lines' between eyebrows): 20–30 units for most patients - Crow's feet: 10–15 units per side - Combined full upper face: 40–60 units Other indications — gummy smile, masseter reduction for face slimming, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), platysmal bands in the neck — can also be discussed at consultation and are priced by units used. Injections take 15–20 minutes. Mild redness at injection points clears within an hour. Results begin at three to five days and are fully established at two weeks. Duration is three to five months; regular users often find results lasting longer as the treated muscles weaken over time. The treatment is reversible in the sense that it is not permanent — effects fully resolve when the product is metabolised.
