Aesthetic Botulinumtoxin treatment for the face is the most popular – and easiest – procedure for alleviating frown lines, facial wrinkles and crow’s feet. Botulinumtoxin has been used in many areas of medicine for decades and is considered the world’s #1 treatment for reducing mimic wrinkles.
Botulinumtoxin injections are becoming increasingly popular as a safe and effective means of slowing down the signs of aging, as well as treating conditions such as muscle spasticity, migraines, and excessive sweating.
Botulinumtoxin is a bacterial toxin that blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps muscles contract. After the injection, muscles become slightly paralysed and loosened, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
In addition, Botulinumtoxin relieves a person’s psyche. Due to the lowered intensity of the mimic muscles, for example the frown line, the patient may also benefit from the reduction of the internal experience of negative emotions, thus feeling less angry, sad or fearful (negative bio-feedback).
The results are visible within 4 to 14 days and last for a period of 3 to 6 months. The effect of Botulinumtoxin on the face usually occurs within 48 hours of the injection; however, please note that the full effect is not visible for about 10 days.
Also, the increasing popularity of low-dose Botulinumtoxin in our clinic is an application technique for an extremely natural result: the mimic muscles are not completely paralyzed, but instead their activity is precisely reduced. The result of this advanced application technique is a significant improvement in aesthetics and emotional state thanks to more positive facial expressions.
For patients suffering from migraine, Botulinumtoxin is a recommended treatment option, which has been proven to reduce the number and severity of migraine attacks. At the same time, medication intake can also be reduced, with the result that the quality of life is improved in the long term.
Side effects are extremely rare when treated by a skilled physician.
"Dr. Papageorgiou has his own special kind of Botulinumtoxin therapy: Instead of a few large ones, he places an infinite number of small boluses under the skin. The result is fantastic! No one even suspects that something has been “done”!I love him for it!"
