Botulinum Toxin Therapy

Botulinum toxin, one of the most popular treatments for wrinkles, came to aesthetic medicine in 1987 when Jean Carruthers discovered that vertical wrinkles in the glabella area disappeared after using botulinum toxin type A to treat blepharospasm. Thanks to many studies and the selection of optimal doses, the safety and efficacy of this method has been proven, and its place in an integrated approach when modifying mimic activity to eliminate wrinkles occupies a leading position.

What are the challanges of this technique?

• Prevention and elimination of wrinkles in the forehead and periorbital area;
• Complex therapy of vertical wrinkles around the mouth;
• Neck rejuvenation and Nefertiti line lifting;
• Application as part of complex therapy for acne and rosacea;
• Therapy for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and many more.

How is the procedure performed?

The procedure is usually performed in one session. If necessary, a second examination is appointed, during which correction is performed. The expected result occurs within 14 days, depending on the individual characteristics of the human body and the doses of the drug administered. The effect of the drug lasts from 3 months up to 1 year, after which the injection can be repeated.

When correcting hyperhidrosis, sweating of the feet, palms and soles decreases, and the unpleasant smell of sweat disappears. The effect lasts up to a year.

Botulinum toxin injections for the correction of mimic wrinkles are almost painless, do not require preliminary application of anesthetic and do not have a rehabilitation period. However, certain precautions must be taken before and after the procedure: do not drink alcohol, do not visit saunas and solariums, don’t do physical activity, do not take a horizontal position for several hours, and also warn the attending physician about the need to take medications, since some of them may influence the final aesthetic effect.

Like other injection procedures, botulinum therapy has a number of limitations and contraindications:

• Neuromuscular diseases
• Allergies to active ingredients
• Infections in the treated area
• Coagulopathy
• Treatment with anticoagulants, drugs from the aminoglycoside group, drugs affecting neuromuscular conduction
• Pregnancy and lactation
