Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injections

Sanatorium ART offers physician-performed botulinum toxin injections for dynamic wrinkle treatment, jaw slimming, neck lifting, and hyperhidrosis management. The treatment temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to smooth frown lines, forehead lines, crow's feet, and bunny lines, with results visible in 3–7 days lasting 3–4 months. Pricing is per treatment zone: 1 area (2,500 Kč), 2 areas (4,000 Kč), 3 areas (5,000 Kč). Specialised applications include masseter reduction for jaw slimming (from 5,000 Kč), Nefertiti Lift for neck and jawline definition (from 4,000 Kč), and hyperhidrosis treatment for excessive sweating (from 8,000 Kč). The treating physician individually assesses each patient and confirms the final dose and price; men's prices are 20% higher due to greater muscle mass requiring more units.

Botulinum toxin (most commonly Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin — the specific product used at Sanatorium ART depends on availability and physician preference) works by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, causing temporary relaxation of the injected muscle. For dynamic facial wrinkles — those formed by repeated muscle contraction (glabella frown lines, forehead furrows, lateral orbital crow's feet) — relaxing the responsible muscle allows the overlying skin to smooth. The effect is visible within 3–7 days and lasts 3–4 months, after which retreatment is required. At Sanatorium ART, the injecting physician assesses each patient individually before treatment; final pricing is confirmed after consultation as dose requirements vary by muscle mass (men typically require 20–30% more units, hence the 20% surcharge on listed prices). Small-area applications — DAO (depressor anguli oris, for mouth corner droop), LipFlip (relaxing the orbicularis oris upper lip portion for subtle lip eversion), BrowLift (relaxing the lateral brow depressors for a subtle arch lift), and BunnyLines (relaxing the nasalis muscle scrunch lines) — require fewer units and are priced from 1,000 Kč each. The Nefertiti Lift (from 4,000 Kč) targets the platysmal bands of the neck and the jawline using a series of injections along the platysma muscle's lower attachments along the jawline and into the neck bands. By relaxing the platysma's downward pull, the overlying neck and lower face skin achieves a subtle upward lift and the jawline appears more defined — a non-surgical neck-lifting effect named after the Egyptian queen whose portrait shows an elongated, defined neck. Hyperhidrosis treatment (from 8,000 Kč) uses botulinum toxin injected intradermally across the axillary skin to block the eccrine sweat gland nerve supply; results last 6–9 months and are highly effective for severe underarm sweating.
