Botox

Botox is one of the most popular and safe ways to reduce wrinkles, signs of fatigue, and age-related changes in the skin.

We offer an effective treatment that restores your face’s natural freshness and youthful appearance, without adding excessive volume or requiring invasive procedures. The result is a polished, refreshed look, while your natural facial expressions remain visible – no frozen effect.

What is Botox?

Botox is an injectable medication that relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. It is commonly used to treat expression lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, and in other facial areas.

At our clinic, we use the original, certified Botox product by Allergan to ensure safety and long-lasting results. The formulation contains purified botulinum toxin type A, which is administered in microdoses and poses no risk to your general health

The effect is localized, only at the injection site, and does not impact your overall physical condition.

What Problems Does Botox Solve?

  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Frown lines between the eyebrows (also known as the “Sibelius wrinkle”)
  • Wrinkles around the eyes ("Crows feet")
  • Sagging in the lower face and neck area (Nefertiti lift)
  • Marionette lines (wrinkles extending from the corners of the mouth downward)
  • Bruxism (teeth grinding or jaw clenching)
  • Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis of the palms or armpits)
  • Gummy smile (excessive gum visibility when smiling)
  • Tense or dimpled chin
  • Thin upper lip (enhanced with Lip Flip technique)
  • Subtle nose shape refinement (e.g., narrowing nostrils or lifting the tip)

Where Else is Botox Used Besides Cosmetology?

Botox is widely known for its use in wrinkle reduction and facial rejuvenation. However, its applications go far beyond aesthetics—botulinum toxin has been safely and effectively used in medical treatments for over 20 years.

Why Does This Matter?

Botox is not just a beauty product. It is a clinically approved medication with scientifically proven effectiveness, recognized by the FDA and other international health authorities. Its use in serious therapeutic fields underscores its reliability and safety—even in aesthetic treatments.

From What Age Can Botox Be Done?

Botox is typically recommended from the age of 25 to 30, when the first expression lines begin to appear. At this stage, the treatment can serve as a preventive measure to slow the development of deeper, static wrinkles.

However, the ideal timing depends on individual factors—such as facial expressiveness, heredity, and skin quality. Some people may benefit from starting earlier, especially in cases of strong facial movements or conditions like hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).

It’s important that the decision to begin treatment is made together with a cosmetic doctor, based on a personalized assessment of your skin’s condition.

How Long Does the Effect Last?

The effects of Botox typically last between 3 and 6 months. With regular treatments, you can maintain a refreshed appearance and help prevent the formation of new wrinkles over time.

Is Botox suitable for everyone?

Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for individuals with certain muscle or autoimmune disorders, active infections, or known allergies to any of its ingredients.

How to Combine Botox and Fillers After Age of 40?

After the age of 40, wrinkles often become deeper and more static, so Botox alone may not be enough. We begin by relaxing the facial muscles with Botox. If the wrinkles are still visible, we may combine the treatment with other methods such as fractional microneedling RF, clear RF, blanching, biorevitalization, and of course, dermal fillers.


LIP FLIP

LIP FLIP is a natural way to enhance your lips without adding volume. This quick and minimally invasive injectable treatment uses botulinum toxin to relax the muscles around the mouth. As a result, the upper lip gently rolls outward, creating the appearance of fuller, more defined lips without the use of fillers. Lip Flip adds subtle expressiveness and shape while keeping the look completely natural.

Who Is Lip Flip Suitable for?

  • Those whose upper lip “disappears” or lifts too high when smiling
  • Those who want a subtle enhancement of the upper lip without adding volume
  • Those who wish to try gentle lip contouring without using fillers

How Does Lip Flip Work?

Using a minimal dose of botulinum toxin (such as Botox), the specialist performs 2–4 microinjections just above the upper lip. This gently relaxes the surrounding muscle, causing the upper lip to subtly lift and appear naturally fuller.

When WIll the Result Be Visible and How Long Will It Last?

You’ll typically see results within 3 to 5 days. The effect lasts around 6 to 8 weeks and can be repeated regularly to maintain a consistent result.

Treatment of Bruxism with Botox

Jaw tension, teeth grinding, morning headaches? It could be bruxism, and it can be effectively treated.

Bruxism is the involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth, most commonly during sleep. While stress is often a factor, the underlying causes may also include bite misalignment, elevated muscle tone, or sleep disturbances.

What Are the Signs of Bruxism?

  • Teeth grinding at night (usually noticed by a partner or family member)
  • Jaw tension or soreness in the morning
  • Headaches, especially in the temple area
  • Enlarged masseter (jaw) muscles
  • Changes in bite or persistent clenching/grinding
  • Clicking or discomfort when opening the mouth

How Does Botox Help?

Botulinum toxin injections into the masseter muscles reduce excessive muscle tension (hypertonicity). This gently relaxes the jaw without affecting facial expressions, speech, or chewing ability.

After the Treatment, You Will Notice:

  • Relief and relaxation in the jaw
  • Fewer headaches and reduced muscle tension
  • Protection of teeth from grinding-related wear
  • Softer and more harmonious facial contours

Results typically appear within 3–7 days and can last up to 6 months.

Is It Possible to Get Rid of Bruxism Permanently?

Botox effectively treats the muscular cause of bruxism. For more lasting results, we recommend a combined approach including bite correction, sleep therapy, and stress management.

Does Botox Affect the Shape of the Face?

Yes, in a positive way. By reducing the volume of overactive jaw muscles, Botox softens the facial contours and enhances symmetry.


Nefertiti Lift

Botox Injections in the Lower Third of the Face and Neck

This procedure is named after Queen Nefertiti of Egypt, who was admired for her elegant profile and defined facial features. Her timeless beauty inspired a modern technique designed to restore youthful contours to the lower face and neck without the need for surgery.

What the Nefertiti Lift Does:

  • Tightens the jawline and lower face
  • Smoothes wrinkles on the neck
  • Reduces sagging and improves skin firmness
  • Refreshes and defines the chin area
  • Lifts drooping corners of the mouth

The effect is achieved by relaxing the platysma muscle – a thin sheet-like muscle in the neck that, with age, begins to pull facial tissues downward. After Botox injections, the face appears firmer, and the contours become more defined, almost like Nefertiti’s own.

The procedure takes about 20 minutes and causes minimal to no discomfort.

Interesting fact!

This technique is especially popular among actors, TV presenters, and public figures who need a defined and expressive profile on camera. The results last 4 to 6 months, while facial expressions remain natural and lively.


Botulinum Therapy for Hyperhidrosis

Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) isn’t just uncomfortable – it can have a serious impact on your quality of life. When antiperspirants no longer work, botulinum toxin injections (such as Botox or Dysport) offer a safe, effective, and medically approved solution.

What Results Can You Expect?

  • Up to 100% reduction in sweating
  • Noticeable effect within 3–7 days
  • Long-lasting results: 6 to 12 months
  • Painless procedure with no downtime

When is Botulinum Treatment Helpful?

  • Excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, soles, face, or back
  • Discomfort in warm environments
  • Frequent public speaking or performing
  • Wanting to feel confident in any situation

What Happens During the Procedure?

The treatment begins with a consultation with the doctor and an assessment of the area affected by excessive sweating. If needed, a local anesthetic is applied before the botulinum injections. The entire procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes, after which you can return to your regular daily activities.

  • Maintain the effect for 4–6 months
  • Provide results with no pain and no recovery time
