Botulinum Toxin Injections

Botulinum toxin injections at Top Laser Olomouc are administered by MUDr. Romana Nyklová Skřivánková, a board-certified dermatologist with over 15 years of aesthetic medicine experience, in a dedicated clinical setting on the city's historic main square. The treatment works by temporarily blocking neuromuscular transmission in the targeted muscle, preventing the repetitive contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles to deepen over time. The effect onset appears gradually over three to seven days and typically lasts four to six months. Standard cosmetic zones — crow's feet, glabella, and forehead — are each priced at a fixed 3 000 Kč, providing clear, predictable cost. Medical indications including underarm, palm, and sole hyperhidrosis are also available. All sessions are preceded by a consultation to assess suitability and discuss zone selection.

Botulinum toxin is a purified neurotoxin protein that reversibly inhibits acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. When injected in precise micro-doses into overactive facial muscles, it reduces the contractile force that creates expression lines — without eliminating natural facial movement when administered accurately. At Top Laser Olomouc, the injections are performed exclusively by Dr. Nyklová Skřivánková using a fine-gauge needle, with the placement guided by her detailed knowledge of facial anatomy developed over 15-plus years of clinical practice. The standard cosmetic zones treated include crow's feet (lateral orbital lines, 3 000 Kč), glabella complex (vertical frown lines between the brows, 3 000 Kč), and the forehead (horizontal lines, 3 000 Kč). The neck (platysmal bands) can be treated from 2 400 Kč, with pricing scaled to extent. For medical hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating of the underarms, palms, or soles — higher doses are required, reflecting the differing anatomy and nerve density in these areas: underarms from 12 000 Kč, palms and soles from 10 000 Kč. A per-unit rate of 40 Kč applies where zone pricing is not appropriate, such as chin dimpling or lip corners. The treatment procedure takes 15–30 minutes depending on the number of zones. The skin surface is cleansed; topical anaesthetic or ice cooling may be applied if preferred. Multiple small injections are made into the target muscles with a 30–32-gauge needle. Patients are advised to remain upright for four hours, avoid rubbing the treated area for 24 hours, and refrain from intense exercise on the day of treatment. The first visible softening of lines typically appears at three to five days, with full effect seen at two weeks. A follow-up review at two weeks allows any asymmetry correction. Duration of effect is four to six months for cosmetic zones, six to twelve months for hyperhidrosis. Contraindications include neuromuscular disease (myasthenia gravis), pregnancy and breastfeeding, and current aminoglycoside antibiotic use. A thorough medical history is taken at the mandatory prior consultation (250 Kč) before any injectable treatment is performed.
