Elimination of wrinkles with botulinum toxin (popularly known as Botox) is a simple and quick procedure performed to eliminate wrinkles on the face.
The goal of the injection of botulinum toxin is to disrupt the neuromuscular connections. Thanks to this, there is no muscle contraction at the injection site, which prevents the formation of facial wrinkles.
Indications for the procedure:
- facial wrinkles such as lion furrow, marionette lines;
- transverse forehead wrinkles;
- wrinkles around the eyes, the so-called crow’s feet;
- neck and chin wrinkles.
The course of the procedure
You can undergo the procedure after a short consultation. Using a thin needle, the doctor injects the toxin into the wrinkles.
The effects appear after 7 days and last up to 6 months.
Post-treatment recommendations
The patient can return to their daily activities almost immediately after the procedure. It is recommended to avoid tilting your head for 6 hours after the procedure.
After the procedure, small injection marks may appear, which disappear within 24 hours after the procedure. There may occur temporary tingling sensation and slight swelling.
