Botulinum toxin is a purified protein that temporarily relaxes a muscle. The site where it is injected determines the effect of the treatment. Relaxing a muscle responsible for the formation of wrinkles, such as in the frown area, the forehead or the crow's feet, can result in smoother skin and a well-rested appearance. Botulinum toxin can also be used to selectively relax the muscles that pull the eyebrows or corners of the mouth downwards, creating a subtle lifting effect.
In addition to aesthetic treatments, botulinum toxin is also used for various medical indications, such as teeth grinding, excessive sweating and tension-related headaches. The degree of muscle relaxation can be precisely fine-tuned by the doctor by adjusting the dosage. This allows the treatment to be personalised and a natural result to be achieved that suits the patient's wishes.
