Botulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin is a treatment in which a very small amount of toxin is injected precisely into overactive facial expression muscles or an enlarged masseter (jaw muscle). The muscle’s ability to contract drops for a while, so dynamic wrinkles smooth out, and the masseter slowly gets smaller as it is used less. We don’t pre-package areas or numbers of units: wrinkles are counted by area and the masseter by units, and every detail is decided only after the doctor has seen your face at the in-person consultation. From the first consultation to the injection itself, the same doctor is in charge. It suits people with a clearly developed masseter and a square lower face, or with dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines and frown lines that have already set in. If what you are hoping for is a change in contour caused by bone structure or fat, botulinum toxin cannot reach that layer, and we will explain this at the consultation and look for another direction.

How we do it hereBotulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin
Botulinum toxin
Units
Wrinkles are counted by area and the masseter by units (about 50 units); each area is counted once per session
Time
About 5–10 minutes per area; if numbing cream is applied first, the waiting time is not included in the treatment time
Pain
Numbing cream is applied after disinfection if needed; the discomfort is minor, so the injection is often done straight away
Interval
Lasts about 3–6 months; wrinkles improve in 1–2 weeks, while large muscles such as the masseter take 3–4 weeks; once every 4–6 months, and 2–3 sessions in a row give a more stable contour
