The most effective non-invasive solution for dynamic facial wrinkles
Botulinum toxin effectively treats dynamic facial wrinkles, i.e. wrinkles created by habitual expressions, such as laughter, surprise, frowning, anger, etc. The muscle spasms that occur at the moment of expression result in fine or deeper wrinkles on the skin, which affect its youthfulness and radiance.
Botulinum toxin acts right at the root of the problem, as it has the ability to blocks muscle movement (cutaneous or mimic muscles) and therefore prevent the appearance of wrinkles in the overlying skin. It is an injectable solution based on the injection of a special neurotoxin, the so-called botulinum toxin type A or botulinum toxin, which when applied by an experienced plastic surgeon or dermatologist in the indicated dosage, is completely safe for the body. Although the result is spectacular, does not radically change the appearance of your faceThe muscles simply relax, so you can still smile, frown, or look surprised without your skin "wrinkled"!
Step by step
The method
Step 1
This is always preceded by a discussion with the doctor about your wishes. After assessing the condition and type of your skin, your age and your expectations, the doctor formulates a personalized plan to give you the desired result.
Step 2
The doctor asks you to make specific expressions (smile, surprise, anger, frown) and marks on the skin of your face with a special pencil the points where the injections will be made. At this stage, botulinum toxin units are determined that will be needed for an excellent result.
Step 3
This is the moment when you can relax and enjoy your experience. Within 5-10 minutes, the doctor completes the microinjections at predetermined points with a special technique that makes the application painless. However, if you wish, you can request that a cold compress or anesthetic cream be applied first to numb the area.
Step 4
The doctor records in your file the application plan (facial areas) and the number of botulinum toxin units used per area. Reschedule appointment after about 15-20 days, when the full effect of the botulinum toxin will now be visible, in order to assess whether certain areas need enhancement (retouch).
What you need to know
Before application
In the last week before application, avoid consuming alcoholic beverages.
One week before the procedure, it is recommended to stop taking medications or dietary supplements that thin the blood, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, anticoagulants, vitamin E, Omega-3 fatty acids, gingko biloba and ginseng. This minimizes the possibility of bruising at the injection sites after the procedure.
After application
You can apply your makeup normally immediately after application.
It is recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity and heavy manual labor for 2-3 days. Vigorous physical activity, such as weight lifting and aerobic exercise, increases heart rate and blood flow, thus preventing the injured blood vessels at the injection sites from healing quickly.
If you experience bruising at the injection sites, you can treat them by topically applying an arnica-based cream.
Avoid touching or touching the application area for at least 6 hours after application.
Any massage or pressure on the area is contraindicated.
Avoid sleeping for at least 3-4 hours after application, so as not to rub or press unconsciously on the application area. The first night after application, prefer to sleep with your head elevated using extra pillows.
To soothe any swelling in the area, you can gently apply a cold compress for 5-10 minutes every hour.

Application areas
Forehead wrinkles (surprise wrinkles)
They are the horizontal lines of expression that form on the forehead when we raise our eyebrows in surprise. That is why they are often called "surprise wrinkles". Botulinum toxin solution is the most suitable solution to "erase" them by relaxing the muscle groups that cause them, and to give a smooth, youthful forehead.
Frown lines (anger or frown lines)
These are the vertical lines that form in the area between and above the eyebrows during moments of anger or frowning. They resemble an “accordion” as the eyebrows are brought together. Botulinum toxin acts specifically on the area and stops the muscle contractions that cause them.
Eye wrinkles (crow's feet)
They are the folds that appear on the outer side of the eyes and extend towards the temples when we laugh. The botulinum toxin solution always remains the best option in treating laugh lines, also known as "crow's feet".
Nose wrinkles (bunny lines)
These are the wrinkles that form on the sides of the nose when we laugh and are often referred to as “bunny lines”, precisely because they resemble the characteristic folds on the nose of rabbits. Sometimes, these wrinkles extend high up towards the lower eyelid area. A few units of botulinum toxin are enough to make them disappear.
Mouth and lip wrinkles
These are the wrinkles that appear around the mouth when we laugh or make mouth grimaces. Vertical wrinkles around the lips are also particularly common, and are seen in smokers, which is why they are also known as "smoker's wrinkles." Botulinum toxin effectively corrects them with just a few units.
Wrinkles of sadness (marionette lines)
They start from the corners of the mouth and move towards the jaw, giving the face a sad look. Sadness wrinkles, also known as “marionette lines”, are due to muscle movement, but also to the gradual relaxation of the skin. Botulinum toxin has the ability to restore the face to its cheerful appearance.
Chin wrinkling
A jowl worsens over time as the muscles in the chin area weaken and collagen production decreases. Botulinum toxin smoothes the skin in the area, giving a more youthful look. The method is also indicated for correcting facial asymmetry.
Neck wrinkles
Botulinum toxin can correct the "strings" that start under the chin and extend towards the neck. A few units of botulinum toxin in the platysma muscle are enough to smooth both vertical and horizontal wrinkles in the area, while also preventing sagging of the skin of the neck.
6 tips to make it last
more
N
Sun protection
Excessive exposure to the sun's UV rays can reverse the benefits of the solution. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during midday hours.
N
Skin care
Systematic skin care with moisturizing products and cosmetics specially designed to relax muscles and soften fine expression lines contribute to the duration of the effect.
N
Healthy diet
The foods you eat affect the appearance, brightness and health of your skin. Stay away from processed foods, limit sugar in your diet and drink plenty of water.
N
Zinc supplement
Several studies have shown that zinc levels are related to the effectiveness of botulinum toxin. Taking a daily zinc supplement after application may prolong its anti-aging effects.
N
Less stress
High levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) accelerate the aging process. Try to stay away from stressors and practice stress relief techniques, such as yoga or meditation.
N
Maintaining the result
To extend the lifespan of botulinum toxin, schedule maintenance solutions before the effect completely wears off. Repeated applications “train” the muscles to respond to botulinum toxin for a longer period of time.
Myths & Truths
Myth
Botulinum toxin "freezes" facial expression.
Truth
This solution does not alter the facial features at all. It is designed to affect the muscles that perform hundreds of muscle contractions daily, due to which expression lines are formed. The expressiveness of the face remains unchanged. The botulinum toxin solution only erases wrinkles and furrows of the skin.
Myth
Botulinum toxin numbs the skin.
Truth
No. It only acts on the muscles and not on the nerves related to skin sensation. Therefore, it does not limit the sensation of touch on the facial skin at all, nor does it cause numbness.
Myth
It is aimed at more mature ages.
Truth
Perhaps in the early years of application it was used more for the treatment of wrinkles. However, it was soon discovered that its regular application not only offers smooth skin for the duration of the substance's action, but at the same time prevents the formation of new wrinkles in the area, as well as the deterioration of existing ones. Therefore, its application is also recommended for younger ages with fewer units and longer intervals between applications as a method of preventing wrinkles - that is, before the skin "breaks". In any case, the doctor is responsible for formulating the plan and frequency of application for your own face.
Myth
As I get older, I will need more frequent applications.
Truth
No. After 3-4 applications, the interval between them increases, as the movements of the muscles that cause wrinkles have been limited. Furthermore, despite the fact that the skin ages as we grow older, botulinum toxin applications also work preventively in terms of the formation of new wrinkles, since they minimize the muscle contractions that cause them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hurt?
As an injection, it can cause some discomfort, but the needles used for the injection are so fine that this discomfort is actually very mild and tolerable. On a pain scale of 1 to 10, most patients rate it as a “1 or 2.” However, if you wish, the doctor can numb the area 10-20 minutes before the start of the application, using a cold compress or topical anesthetic cream.
Is there a recovery time?
No. It is a non-invasive anti-aging solution that does not require anesthesia or any special care after completion. An experienced plastic surgeon knows the correct injection technique, so that patients can return to work and daily activities immediately after the procedure.
Does it have side effects?
When applied by an experienced plastic surgeon, it is completely safe. Only some mild and temporary side effects may occur, such as pain, swelling or bruising at the injection sites, redness of the face, drooping eyelids or uneven eyebrows, headache, sore throat, severe dry eyes or tearing. These are temporary phenomena that subside after a few days and are not a cause for concern. It is important to know that botulinum toxin has received the approval of the European Medicines Agency (EOF), as well as the American FDA.
When does the result appear and how long does it last?
One of the great advantages of botulinum toxin is that the effect is visible very quickly. Specifically, it begins to takes effect after 2-3 days and the result is complete in two weeks with expression wrinkles being a thing of the past. The skin looks younger, brighter and firmer, maintaining the naturalness of its expression, but not its wrinkles! The result remains unchanged for 4-6 months. You should know that a very important role in the duration of the result is played by the experience and technique used by the plastic surgeon, in order to inject the active substance in the places where the optimal result will be achieved. When applied correctly, the satisfaction rate exceeds 97%!
How often do I need to repeat it to maintain the result?
As the body metabolizes the active ingredient, its effect weakens, the muscles slowly regain their mobility and your face returns to its pre-solution state. However, you can maintain the result by repeating it at regular intervals. On average, 2-3 applications per year are sufficient.
Is botulinum toxin application allowed during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There is no research to suggest that it is harmful during pregnancy or breastfeeding, but it is best to avoid injecting a toxin into pregnant or breastfeeding women. Once the lactation period is complete and after a short period of time for hormones to return to normal levels, patients can return to normal applications.
Can I prevent the appearance of wrinkles with this specific solution?
Yes. It can be used as a wrinkle prevention by younger patients and has been steadily increasing in recent years, starting from the age group of 13-19 years. The active substance limits muscle contractions, which are responsible in the long term for causing dynamic and static wrinkles. When the solution is applied at a young age, only a few units are enough for the skin to resist the "wrinkle" caused by facial expressions. Therefore, the cost is even more affordable and the long-term benefit even more valuable.
Will my friends know that I have applied botulinum toxin?
A good result will give you a fresher, happier and more refreshed appearance. People who know you are more likely to think that you are more rested or that you are going through a period of less stress and worry.
