WRINKLE CORRECTION / BOTULINUM TOXIN

Some wrinkles are caused by the influence of gravity and the loss of elasticity during the ageing process (see "Dermal Filler" ), but others by excessive contraction of the facial muscles for facial expressions. In the latter case, the connective tissue is pleated repeatedly at the same spot and is thus mechanically strained. Over the years, blinking of the eyes and frowning of the eyebrows will leave visible traces in the form of moderate or more severe lines and wrinkles. As most of these activities happen unconsciously they cannot be influenced directly. The results are crow’s feet around the eyes and glabellar lines at the root of the nose. The latter sometimes leads to misunderstandings as people might think the person is angry or annoyed which is actually not the case.

Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A)

In this case Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) can produce relief. The protein is used in therapies and has already been successfully used worldwide not only in medicine but also for cosmetic indications. Scientific studies have proven that Botulinum toxin type A is a very safe and efficient substance. It is used under the following trademarks: Botox®, Dysport®, Vistabel®, Xeomin®.

The effect

The protein blocks the contraction impulse in the treated muscle region at the point between the nerve end and the muscle cell. Both, muscles and skin relax noticeably. Disturbing lines can be smoothed or even removed, which effectively harmonises the facial expression. The treatment even prevents the development of deeper and more severe wrinkles. The effect of the treatment starts to show after 3-5 days; the maximum effect shows 10 - 14 days. It normally lasts approximately for 3-6 months.
