Filling wrinkles with botulinum toxin

Removing wrinkles Zakopane – aesthetic medicine at the Medical Clinic Podhale Art. We cordially invite you!

Every day when we smile or frown, our facial muscles contract, resulting in skin folds that cause wrinkles. As the years go by, wrinkles become more and more visible. At the Medical Clinic Podhale Art in Zakopane, we have a solution – botulinum toxin helps in eliminating problems caused by muscle contraction. This preparation effectively smoothes wrinkles and restores the face’s youthful, radiant appearance.

Botulinum toxin action

Botulinum toxin is the strongest known biological toxin, produced by the anaerobic Clostridium botulinum. There are 7 known types of antigenic toxin, which are designated A – G. Cosmetic use has a purified form of botulinum toxin, which develops under special conditions.

Botulinum toxin blocks the passage of stimuli from the nerves to the facial muscles, which are closely related to the lines of facial expression. It only works in the muscles into which it has been injected, preventing them from spasm and wrinkling of the skin. Thus, it leads to the relaxation of the muscle and the skin above it. In addition, the effect of the toxin appears gradually, and the restoration of the functions of the neuromuscular endings takes about 3-6 months, depending on the patient’s individual characteristics. As a result of the action of botulinum toxin, the facial expression does not change, but the wrinkles disappear and the face becomes visibly rejuvenated.

Botulinum toxin injection performed by professionals – aesthetic medicine doctors and dermatologists from the Medical Clinic Podhale Art in Zakopane – does not freeze facial expressions!

What is the procedure?

First of all – a preparation containing botulinum toxin is injected into several places on the face using a disposable syringe with a very fine needle. The treatment consists in its precise administration to selected muscles. Second – the procedure takes about 10-15 minutes, depending on the number of injected places. On the other hand, the preparation starts working after about 2-3 days after the injection, and the effect of the treatment should be visible after about 10-14 days. The procedure is almost painless, does not require local anesthesia and you can return to your daily activities immediately afterwards.

It is important that this treatment can be repeated many times, and each subsequent injection extends its operation. Thanks to this, subsequent treatments can be performed at increasingly greater intervals.

What areas is the treatment performed on?

Botulinum toxin is used primarily to remove the so-called crow’s feet, i.e. wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes, wrinkles between the eyebrows (the so-called lion’s wrinkles), horizontal lines on the forehead or lines of laughter between the eyes. This preparation is also used more and more often to smooth the neck and raise the eyebrows. The aim of the treatment is, of course, to remove wrinkles, smooth the skin as much as possible, and thus complete rejuvenation.

Recommendations before and after the procedure

First of all, you should follow the instructions of your doctor. Moreover:

  • People taking vitamin E, vitamin supplements, herbs such as St. John’s wort and anti-inflammatory drugs should stop taking them 10 days before the planned botulinum toxin treatment due to the risk of side effects, including lowering the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Alcohol should not be consumed before and after the procedure.
  • At least 4 hours after the procedure, you should not bend over or lift. It is recommended to avoid exercise immediately after the treatment and to avoid using the solarium, swimming pool or sauna.
  • It is also important not to rub or massage the places where botulinum toxin has been injected for a day after the procedure so as not to move it beyond a specific muscle.
