Botulinum toxin has been used in aesthetic medicine for many years to specifically treat expression lines and counteract certain muscle tensions. In my practice in Frankfurt, each application is individually tailored – with the aim of maintaining a naturally relaxed and fresh appearance.
Mechanism of Action of Botulinum Toxin
Botulinum toxin is a drug that specifically reduces the activity of certain muscles. This relaxes the treated areas, and expression lines such as frown lines, forehead wrinkles or crow’s feet are significantly reduced. The effect occurs after a few days, reaches its maximum after about two weeks and usually lasts three to four months.
Treatment Areas of Aesthetic Botulinum Toxin Therapy
- Frown lines (glabella)
- Forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet (periorbital wrinkles)
- Bunny Lines (nasal root wrinkles)
- Gummy Smile (gingival smile)
- Lip wrinkles and corners of the mouth
- Chin and neck area (e.g. Nefertiti lift)
- Facial slimming (masseter)
Functional Areas of Application
In addition to wrinkle treatment, botulinum toxin is also used to treat functional complaints:
- Bruxism (teeth grinding, muscle tension)
- Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating in the armpits, hands or feet)
Treatment Procedure
After a detailed medical history and individual consultation, the injection is carried out with very fine needles precisely into the desired muscle areas. The treatment lasts about 15–30 minutes. Anesthesia is usually not necessary. Most patients are able to socialize again immediately afterwards.
Important Notes after the Treatment
- Do not massage or put pressure on the treated areas
- Avoid sports, sauna or sunbathing on the same day
- Keep your head upright for at least four hours
- Adequate hydration
