How to get rid of annoying wrinkles on your face again
Professional wrinkle treatment
Expression lines, frown lines or crow's feet - but also excessive sweating - can be treated very well with botulinum toxin injections.
The human facial musculature consists of 26 different muscles that ensure that we can move individual parts of our face. Aging and external environmental influences extremely intensify such wrinkles.
The treatment
Application examples
Injections with botulinum toxin are suitable for the following areas of application:
- Frown line (glabellar fold)
- Laughter lines around the eyes (crow's feet)
- Other mimic wrinkles
- Excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Botulinum toxin treatment relaxes the muscles in the treated region and smoothes wrinkles.
How botulinum toxin works
During an injection with botulinum toxin by an experienced doctor, those nerve impulses are specifically blocked that transmit the command to a certain facial muscle to tense up. The treated area can no longer contract uncontrollably. This has a smoothing effect as the muscles relax and the overlying skin is de-wrinkled. In combination with a Hyaluronic acid-Injections can also be used to treat deeper wrinkles.
Relaxed muscles - smoothed skin
For several months, no new mimic wrinkles can appear in the areas treated with botulinum toxin. According to the same principle, anti-sweating treatment blocks the nerve impulses to the sweat glands.
In medicine, the active ingredient botulinum toxin has been used for around four decades, for example in neurology for the treatment of convulsions. It is a protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Since the 1990s, its muscle-relaxing effect has also been used in the field of aesthetic medicine for the correction of wrinkles and excessive sweating.

Botulinum toxin is generally well tolerated. As a rule, you are immediately socially fit again following botulinum toxin treatment. The healing process is influenced by various factors.

- Abstain from alcohol consumption and smoking
- Do not use make-up in the immediate aftermath

- Refrain from applying cold or warm compresses
The first days after your treatment
- We recommend repeated use of the treated facial muscles after application to promote binding of the botulinum to the nerve endings. Example: When treating frown lines, you should increase frowning for about 20 minutes. Research suggests that by activating the muscles, the botulinum toxin is better absorbed and thus the effect is more targeted.
Despite medically flawless injection with botunilum toxin, there is a possibility that redness, small bruises or swelling may occur. However, these should subside after 2 to 3 days at the latest.
